HELP! wierd compilation problem

[Todd Graham Lewis <tlewis mindspring net>]

When I run autogen.sh in gnome-libs, I get, among other things,
the following:

	(...)
	test-suite/Makefile.am:809: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
	test-suite/Makefile.am:809: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
	gnome-hello/Makefile.am:861: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
	gnome-hello/Makefile.am:861: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
	gnome-hello/Makefile.am:861: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
	(...)
	libgnorba/Makefile.am:671: variable `ORBIT_LIBS' not defined
	libgnorba/Makefile.am:671: variable `INTLLIBS' not defined
	zvt/Makefile.am:786: variable `GDK_IMLIB_LIBS' not defined
	(...)

and yet when I strace it, I see the following:

	[pid 17692] open("/opt/gnome/share/aclocal/gettext.m4", O_RDONLY) = 4

My ACLOCAL_FLAGS looks like this:

	reflections% echo $ACLOCAL_FLAGS
	-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal

ORBIT_LIBS is defined in macros/gnome-orbit-check.m4.  Is this not included
by default by autogen.sh?

GDK_IMLIB_LIBS is defined in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal/imlib.m4, which
is in my ACLOCAL_FLAGS include path.  Why is this not found?

INTLLIBS is defined in macros/gettext.m4, which I copied over from my
libintl installation in /usr/local.  Why is this not included?

I really do not understand why this is failing.  Can someone please
throw me a bone here?
