Not sure, but you may be encountering and error that I've seen
where the build will fail if configure detects that you don't
have X11 installed.

This is because libraries/clib/Makefile will descend into the
"awt" subdirectory no matter what, even though there's no
libraries/clib/awt/Makefile.

Contrary to the comment in libraries/clib/Makefile, this subdirectory
always exists; it's the Makefile that may not exist.

The patch below fixes this bug.
