Regarding gnulib, you may have a proxy/firewall problem. Jarno helped me with 
pulling through my company's proxy server by using http access.

I have no problem building the developer's sources (32bit using Fink to satisfy 
dependencies). The only time I've seen this problem is when I tried a 
minimalistic build on a Mac with no Fink or MacPorts.
