You probably know, but the -k option just means to keep going in the
event of errors.  It doesn't (shouldn't) cause any on its own.  So
dropping the -k will just mean you only get to see one build error at
a time.

The build of x11-declarations.h didn't fail.  It was never attempted.
The problem is that according to the makefile, the ethereal: build
target doesn't depend on some stuff that it really does depend on.
Just how much stuff I don't know, as I didn't try to track it all
down.
