Ok, tried it, and it needs a few bugfixes, don't know enough about the parts 
it broke in to try fixing
it myself. I compile on a Solaris Ultra-2 using Solaris 2.5 and gcc version 
2.7.2

The make seemed to go well until:
creating libgtk.la
(cd .libs && ln -s ../libgtk.la libgtk.la)
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -DG_ENABLE_DEBUG -Wall  -o testgtk  
testgtk.o libgtk.la                            ../gdk/libgdk.la                
-L/opt/X11/lib -R/opt/X11/lib                           -lXext -lX11 -lsocket  
-lnsl   ../glib/libglib.la               -lm
gcc -g -DG_ENABLE_DEBUG -Wall -o .libs/testgtk testgtk.o

It kept doing coredumps like that for all testgtk tools, then finally ended 
with the following:

gcc -g -DG_ENABLE_DEBUG -Wall -o .libs/simple simple.o -R/home/ramsey/gimp/lib 
.libs/libgtk.so -R/home/ramsey/gimp/lib ../gdk/.libs/libgdk.so -L/opt/X11/lib 
-lXext -lX11 -lsocket -lnsl -L/opt/X11/lib -R/opt/X11/lib -lXext -lX11 
-lsocket -lnsl -R/home/ramsey/gimp/lib ../glib/.libs/libglib.so -lm
creating simple
Segmentation Fault - core dumped
Making all in docs
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `gtk.m4'

By doing make -n and checking what commands were issued, i traced the problem 
to the invocation
of libtool, it seems to be malfunctioning (the libtools that came with 
0.99.3-5 worked fine here.

I hope somebody can figure out what is going wrong from this. Bye,
