I'm  now seeing my build fail with a long sequence of errors like ....

../libgnu/stdio.h:1252:18: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type 
conversion before '(' token
In file included from ../../gui/libcruft/misc/quit.h:33:0,
                 from ../../gui/libcruft/misc/f77-fcn.h:26,
                 from ../../gui/libcruft/misc/f77-extern.cc:28:

See the attached for more details.  I assume I've done something wrong.

I have a directory "./gui" that holds the sources for the gui branch, and a 
second directory, "./gui_build" where I intended to build the sources.  From 
the build directory, I tried "../gui/configure ..."
