gmake[3]: *** [gtk.immodules] Error 1

Configuration is 

XMKMK=/path/to/xmkmf MAKE=/path/to/gmake ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --enable-xkb --disable-static 
--enable-shared --enable-xinerama --enable-fast-install --enable-explicit-deps=yes --enable-mo dules 
--enable-man --enable-debug --with-x --enable-shm --enable-visibility  

Why do we not see ELF styled .so s in modules/input or gtk/.libs ?
