Problems building cvs version of gtk

[Skip Montanaro <skip pobox com>]

I'm getting farther.  I finally got cvs versions of glib, atk and pango all
installed.  Now I'm stuck trying to build gtk itself.

After first encountering problems, I decided to start from scratch, so I
zapped all text files except the CVS stuff and reloaded:

    find . -type f | egrep -v CVS | xargs rm
    cvs up .

Then, following Owen Taylor's advice, I figured I'd skip the CFLAGS stuff
for now:

    ./autogen.sh
    make
 
Autogen.sh emitted some peculiar messages:

    I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
    to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.

Forging ahead, I tried make:

which started off fine, but eventually stumbled on some unsubstituted
variables:

My environment is:

    Linux Mandrake   8.0
    gcc	    	     2.96
    libtool 	     1.4
    automake	     1.4g
    autoconf	     2.50a
    aclocal 	     1.4g

Any thoughts about the cause of the problem?

Thx,
