I suspect at least part of the problem is that, somehow, the Makefile's
process of regenerating the configuration file, if you don't have GTK+
2.0 installed, doesn't correctly handle the

	if test "x$enable_gtk2" = "xyes" -a "x$enable_ethereal" = "xyes" ; then
		GTK_OK=two
		AM_PATH_GTK_2_0(2.0.0, CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GTK_CFLAGS", GTK_OK=no, gthread)
	elif test "x$enable_gtk2" = "xno" -a "x$enable_ethereal" = "xyes" ; then
		GTK_OK=one
		AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GTK_CFLAGS", GTK_OK=no )
	else
		GTK_OK=no
	fi

stuff, as, instead of expanding the macro call to "AM_PATH_GTK_2_0()"
using the fallback version, it just copies the line over *verbatim*,
which upsets the shell as it's not expecting a parenthesized call.
