I should have included more information before, I'm sorry. Kind of
distracted. Here's the parts of config.log that look relevant to me, and
the whole thing is at http://pobox.com/~hp/config.log. I built on my same
old Linux box same as ever; I think it started breaking yesterday or so,
this week anyway. Probably I'm doing something dumb. Thanks for having a
look...

Actually, come to think of it I think I may have just changed from using
real intl/macros/support directories to symlinks into gnome-common; that's
been working for most of gnome-* but I hadn't tried it for gnome-libs. 
Guess it doesn't work that way. ;-)  That is probably it. I can't think of
anything else that's changed.
