I checked, and it seems that this is synfig's fault, because running
that command by itself doesn't exit. So synfig is not writing to the
pipe properly or something.

Ok.

I didn't pick the options, that was the developers when synfig was an
in-house proprietary app for Voria Studios.

./bootstrap should not be needed unless you used the SVN version, the
tarballs on the website already have the results of running bootstrap in
them.

There should be at least gif, ppm, bmp and yuv420p, since these don't
seem to need external libraries and should be always built.

Mostly, the libraries needed for each of them are detected when you
run ./configure, there are several --with-xx options. Run ./configure
--help to see what switches are available. There are exceptions for a
couple that use external binaries instead of libraries, for those, you
can enable them with a configure switch even if you don't have them
installed.
