Oh, I agree, "make install" is the real culprit here and should be
fixed; but pending that fix I think the BLFS audience needs to know
about the bug and workaround.

As to why it doesn't work (or works differently), that's going to take
some research.  Now that I have a working install, which was my first
goal, I can spend some time running some controlled experiments (i.e.,
start with a regular "make install" using all command-line options, then
compare that control result with what happens when I change each factor
individually).  It might make the results more meaningful if several
people do this and compare whether different platforms (Linux?  Windows?
GTK1 vs. GTK2?) produce different results.
