Unsetting the environment variables did remove this particular
problem. But it introduced something else during the 'make' stage.
Here is the exact error message:
/home/rishi/freetalk-0.69/doc//version.texi:65: Unknown command `im'.

Please note that doc/version.texi no more contains the values of the
proxy environment values. Following is the exact session in my case.

I will fervently wait for the proxy supported version's release. :-)

By the way, they have installed GNU Freetalk on fencepost.gnu.org,
albeit it is the 0.5 version. So I am able to use for the time being.
