Perhaps your system has some broken libraries or something. I've compiled
Gtk probably 1000 times between .99.x and 1.2, most of them out of CVS,
and *never* had it not work. 

(It's possible that the tarballs have something wrong with them of
course.)

Does gdkfont.c exist?

What was the exact sequence of commands you used to build?

What is the command make is running that causes the above error (the link
command obviously, but the exact text on your system)?

Are there any other errors before this one?

Does configure show any errors when you run it? (If so, config.log may
show the cause of them.)
