Sawfish CVS version compiles (and works nicely) on FC5 and the
current "rawhide".  For a reference here is a '%build' section
from my current "private" source rpm:

%build
( cd etc
rm -f config.guess config.sub
[ -r /usr/share/libtool/config.guess ] &&
  ln -s /usr/share/libtool/config.guess . || exit 1
[ -r /usr/share/libtool/config.sub ] &&
  ln -s /usr/share/libtool/config.sub . || exit 1
)
./autogen.sh \
        --disable-themer \
        --without-gdk-pixbuf \
        --x-libraries=%{_libdir} \
        --x-includes=/usr/include/X11

perl -pi -e 's/1.3.12/2.0.0/g' configure

%configure \
        --disable-themer \
        --without-gdk-pixbuf \
        --x-libraries=%{_libdir} \
        --x-includes=/usr/include/X11

make host_type=%{_target_platform}

This clearly presumes that you have 'libtool' package installed
but you are not likely to get very far without it.  I guess that
'automake' also will be needed.

If this helps for the current SuSE distros I do not know.  Quite
likely.  This or something similar.
