GTK+ 1.1.9 compile errors

[jay <mocat best com>]

Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to include as much information
as possible.

I am running Slackware linux 3.6 running the 2.2.2 kernel
XFree 3.3.3
gcc 2.7.2.3
using libc5 (glibc1)

Here is the process I followed to install GTK+ 1.1.9.

downloaded glib 1.1.9
glib compile/install: ./configure ; make
died on configure
downloaded linuxthreads, installed
glib compile/install: ./configure;make
died on make
downloaded gettext 10.35 from alpha.gnu.org
gettext compile/install: ./configure;make
died on make
gettext compile/install: ./configure --disable-nls;make;make install
success
ldconfig
glib compile/install: ./configure;make;make install
success
ldconfig
downloaded gtk+-1.1.9
gtk+ compile/install: ./configure;make;make install
died on make
gtk+ compile/install: ./configure --disable-nls;make
died on make, same error messages

i'm stuck there.  i can't get around the compile errors with gtk+.
i dont know what i'm doing wrong, but here is a dump of ./configure
and a dump of the errors i get when i try to compile gtk+

thanks for any help... this is driving me insane ;)
