problems compiling Xrender from cvs

[Donald Raikes <don draikes com>]

Hello,
In an attempt to build gnome from cvs using jhbuild, I keep running into the problem that Xrender will not configure.
I even tried:
jhbuild shell
to run a shell with the necessary environment, then
after cd'ing ot cvs/gnome2/Xrender, I ran:
autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome2

The resulting log follows:
