Another update.
- The problem with libdbi goes away if you change the patch command on 
line 792 and again on line 828 to include  -l
patch -l -p1 <......
I assume there's some weird whitespace problem with either the patch of 
the current version of the code
- There seems to be a version issue with GWENHYFAR_VERSION
It builds OK but every time I restart it rebuilds. For some reason it's 
built a version which annouces itself as 4.7.0beta even though the file 
it downloads says it's 4.8.0beta
If I build and change the version to 4.7.0beta it doesn't then try and 
rebuild each time. But seems a bit strange.

Finally, it tries to build gnucash itself.
The first sign of a problem is that it says:
       please add the files codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconf.m4 
isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from the /aclocal directory to 
your autoconf macro directory or directly to your aclocal.m4 file

And then
You shoudl add the contents of /c/soft/gnome/share/aclocal/intltool.m4 
to aclocal.m4
.....
Running autoconf

NOTE: Just run configure. Even if something told you to run aclocal, 
autommake.....

You must now run ./configure --enable-compile-warnings ....
./install-impl.sh: lin 1296: ../repos/configure: No such file or directory.

Not sure if this is where you are at this point too....
