strace is my friend.  I found out that sawfish, and later rep, were looking
for .la files within my build tree, but in the wrong places.  The following
two commands (after mkdir in the first case) gave them what they were
looking for:

src/.lib/libsawfish/wm$ ln -s ../../../.libs util
src/.libexec$ ln -s ../.libs libsawfish

Another point: The build produces lots of messages like:

s.jl:60: In function `layout-keymaps':
s.jl:60: warning: calling undeclared function `slot-name'
s.jl:88: At top-level:
s.jl:88: warning: calling undeclared function `define-layout-type'

The new CVS GNU Emacs compile command (by yours truly :-) recognizes the
warning lines, makes them orange, and gives you a chance to skip them when
looking for the next error.  But the other two lines, are red and considered
errors.  If the info: keyword were added, as follows, the introductory lines
would instead be green, and skipped by default:

s.jl:60: info: In function `layout-keymaps':
s.jl:60: warning: calling undeclared function `slot-name'
s.jl:88: info: At top-level:
s.jl:88: warning: calling undeclared function `define-layout-type'

coralament / best Grötens / liebe Grüße / best regards / elkorajn salutojn
