Yes, thanks for your complete bug report.

Have a look at the versions (See my vs. your output below). Your libtool is 
clearly too old, and apparently also the autoconf. There were a lot of 
changes in these tools, lately. So maybe get the freshest automake, autoconf 
and libtool, and please recomplain if things don't work out with these.

I also will be quite busy, so I am looking forward to your report in a couple 
of weeks (or the report of any other one who wants to have a go at compiling 
the gift with gcc-3.0.3)
Cheers,
