gnomeConf.sh is used as the last resort. First gnome-config executable is
searched. The question is why you don't have it in your path?

The logic about where to search for gnomeConf.sh (last resort) is from
gnome.m4, which is included in a lot of other projects, you may write to
authors of this macro if you don't agree with this logic.

I may fix this (risking to break something else), but is it really needed?
Just ensure you have the correct gnome-config in $PATH, as it should be.
In RedHat or similar it is /usr/bin/gnome-config from gnome-libs-devel rpm.
