I have run ./autogen.sh again and you are right, it does show the
LDADD error but I get the normal end message telling me to ignore what
has been shown above and carry on anyway:

Running automake --add-missing --gnu --warnings=no-portability  ...
src/report/report-gnome/test/Makefile.am:54: LDADD multiply defined in
condition TRUE ...
src/report/report-gnome/test/Makefile.am:10: ... `LDADD' previously defined here
Running autoconf ...

NOTE: Just run configure.  Even if something told you to run
      aclocal, automake, or anything else above, IGNORE IT.
      Everything has been run properly.  Just run configure...

You must now run ./configure --enable-compile-warnings ...
