gtk2 is still in the process of building…

Replying to ballapete:

The corresponing heavily patched code is this:

I'm not sure what you're referring to. As far as I can tell the gtk2 port doesn't patch the configure script.

It does regenerate the configure script using autoreconf. It is always possible that a suboptimal configure script cannot be regenerated properly, especially with later versions of autoconf since sometimes things in autoconf change.

If it's failing to build for you, please attach the main.log file.
