So in other words, not without a chroot build environment.
And it turns out that there were several problems:
o The autoconf in stable is still broken, but my development host
uses stable.
o There were two configuration scripts. I forgot to update both.
o The script to determine which libraries were needed missed a
couple: ICE and SM.
o The newer autoconf changed the way that CFLAGS is created s.t. the
configuration scripts had to be changed to use CXXFLAGS instead of
CFLAGS.
None of this was apparent from my development machine, though I cannot
figure out why the last one didn't show up. I used a chroot install
of unstable which made it much easier to figure out why it wasn't
working.
Cheers.
