I encountered the same error, But it is not a bug in itself; just that 
the configure tests against old versions of certain programs, guile and 
mftrace that i know about.

Maybe an action for the main-core developers to update the files which 
contain old info, so an end-user who is familiar with  the normal 
build-procedure can use it.

The GUB-option is nice, but has also some restrictions build in, and is 
not completely user-friendly when you are updating an older version.

If I know what to change, I will try to update the CVS for the new 
versions (2.[89].X).
