I believe I've got gettext, automake and autoconf ... what's the problem with
lout on m68k (and more important: why does the dpkg build depend on something
that's not available for all architectures? But that's a rather philosophical
question).

That's enough, thanks. It's precisely the same as I had last time (and I gave
up because I couldn't find a way to fix the 'missing archtable.h' in the
makefile).
I'll try again once X with the Mac fix has finished building ...
