That is very strange.  There's a rule to build std_hooks.h in our
Makefile.am:

%.h: %.lua txt2c Makefile
        ./txt2c $< $(*F) >address@hidden
        cmp -s address@hidden $@ || mv address@hidden $@
        rm -f address@hidden

which _should_ have been copied through by automake/configure to the
makefile you're using.

Perhaps you need to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'?

(I'm also not sure that a gcc 2.95.3 prerelease will be able to handle
monotone's code; that compiler is _very_ old, and has many many
C++-handling bugs.  But that's a separate issue, that you haven't had
a chance to run into yet.  Perhaps it will work, who knows.)
