gtk2 fails during build due to autoreconf error

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

I can no longer compile gtk2 on my MacPro with OS X 10.9.1 installed. The error generated is below as well as the log. Let me know if I can provide more information.

I can confirm installing gtk-doc fixed the issue on my system. Thanks.
