After a little kip the reason behind the problem came to me. A thoughtless
cut and paste, I'm afraid :(  the old tab --> spaces == boom.

I actually though of this and went to the autotools book on the net and 
checked it out, the book prints that one needs automake 1.5,
[witme-fileutils]$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4g

the relavent section is at the bottom of:
autobook-1.2/autobook_41.html#SEC41


I will play with converting to per-exe CFLAGS now that I have something that
compiles :)

Thanks.
