I just tried it out myself here on a not-so-up-to-date Arch Linux and I
needed to change:

  acinclude.m4, line 20:
    AM_CONFIG_HEADER(...) -> AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(...)

then ./reconf && ./configure brought me:

  THESE COMPONENTS ARE DISABLED:

  - gb.corba
  - gb.db.firebird
  - gb.db.sqlite2
  - gb.qte

which is pretty good.

Compilation failed later in gb.qt.kde and gb.pdf but without these, it ran
through! Note that I run the Trinity desktop (3.5.13) which builds on QT3
(3.3.8d), so I had the bonus of having old QT libraries installed (whether
that's a "bonus" clearly depends on context :-) Here, it is a bonus) which
were indeed used for building gb.qt.

Regards,
Tobi
