No, but 3.2.0b3 doesn't compile with gcc-3.0 either--it was released 
well before that point. Try one of the 3.2.0b4 snapshots, though I'm not 
sure it will help with the /usr/include (which is inserted by an older 
version of automake).

Since the configure script and Makefiles are generated by autoconf and 
automake, it's not really an ht://Dig bug. I will make sure the next 
3.2.0b4 snapshot has updated Makefiles.
