My guess is that this is from

   cc=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL CC`
   cc=`echo ${cc} | sed "s/ .*//"`
   if test "`which ${cc}`" = "`which ${CC}`"; then
     shlib_ldflags=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL SHLIBLDFLAGS`
     cpicflags=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL PICFLAGS`
   fi
   cxx=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL CXX`
   cxx=`echo ${cxx} | sed "s/ .*//"`
   if test "`which ${cxx}`" = "`which ${CXX}`"; then
     cxxpicflags=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL CXXPICFLAGS`
   fi

in configure and so either your compilers are not set correctly or your 
OS's X11 does not find the compilers used to compile it.

I'd start by inserting debugging code in configure at that point to find 
out what ${cc} and ${CC} are, with the expectation that one is empty.
