gnome-libs Solaris compilation sadness

[Kim Scarborough <lists jinx unknown nu>]

I'm trying to compile gnome-libs on an UltraSparc running Solaris 8. The
configure works fine, but the make dies. I solved the first problem, but I
can't get past the second one.

Originally, when I would run make, it would die like so:

Making all in support
make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/tmp/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2/support'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..
-D_GNU_SOURCE  -I/opt/include -I/opt/pkgs/gtk+-1.2.10/include/gtk-1.2
-I/opt/pkgs/glib-1.2.10/include/glib-1.2
-I/opt/pkgs/glib-1.2.10/lib/glib/include -I/usr/openwin/include

../libtool: test: argument expected
make[2]: *** [findme.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/tmp/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2/support'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/tmp/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I fixed this by editing the included libtool, replacing most of the
instances of 'test $foo' with 'test x"$foo"'. Now my make gets farther,
but dies here:

This is beyond my limited knowledge. Does anyone have any advice for me?
I'm sure I've left out important information, but I'm not sure what's
relevant. Let me know if I need to provide anything else.
