Hmm, I should of known, I get bug reports as obscure and know how hard it is
to work out what's wrong, ok some "more input".

I start the whole thing up with rm'ing config.cache and then ./autogen.sh

It seems to be quite happy with the toplevel Makefile and configure scripts.

Then it steps down into libgtktty:
: configuring in libgtktty
: running /bin/sh ./configure  --enable-maintainer-mode --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=.
: loading cache .././config.cache
: checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c

So it gurgles along through the configure script, doing the standard stuff
until it gets to the Gtk specific tests:
: creating libtool
: checking for gtk-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/gtk-config
: checking for GTK - version >= 0.99.7... no
: configure: error: Cannot find GTK: is gtk-config in path?
: configure: error: ./configure failed for libgtktty

OK, so what does config.log say?
In libgtktty:

OK, let's see what is different.
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/specs
gcc version 2.7.2.3
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.2
automake (GNU automake) 1.2
Autoconf version 2.12   <----- This came from autoheader --version, wierd!
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.0h
Linux scooter 2.0.32 #3 Thu Dec 18 13:22:24 EST 1997 i586 unknown

It's a Debian GNU/Linux system, roughly 2.0

If I fiddle with the configure script in libgtktty so that the test for 
crossporting is always true so it skips this test, it works ok.
