[Gnash] Building problems on Debian AMD64

[Mahesh T. Pai]

I am trying to build gnash on Debian AMD64 sid/unstable.

I got the  cvs, ran ./autogen.sh, and then  ./configure and then make.
SInce the build pocess exited with some errors, I did `make distclean'
which gave the following error

<output of ./autogen.sh - second run>
$ ./autogen.sh
processing .
Running aclocal -I macros  ...

  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
Running autoheader...
Running automake --gnu  ...

</end>

Here are last few lines of the ./configure command (again second run)

The actual error on running `make' is:

What is wrong here?

gcc version is 4.0.3 20060128 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-8)

I can send the configure.log; but it is 56K.
