You found a bug in the tarball... a missing file. I've filed
the problem as:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90511 

But it actually isn't all that interesting because --with-xinput=gxi
(what plain --with-xinput means) is not really functional any
more. If you want XInput support, use --with-xinput=xfree.

In GTK+-2.1.x, --with-xinput means --with-xinput=xfree, and 
gxi is gone altogether.

(Also, there is no point in specify --mandir, --enable-xim, 
--with-gdktarget=x11; they are all defaults. And --enable-gtk-doc
doesn't do you any good unless you are hacking the docs.
Take advantage of the defaults; they are default for a reason :-0)

Thanks,
