build gnucash-git woes with Mac OS, Xcode 5.1

John et al,
I upgraded Xcode on my Mac (10.9.2) to Xcode 5.1 this week (gcc 4.2.1), and
I have tried a total-start-from-scratch build of gnucash-git. My woes with
this:
* ~/gtk/source/webkit-1.6.1/GNUmakefile.am is missing "-stdlibc=libstdc++"
on line 120. (previously reported, and I know how to work around this).
* guile 1.8.8 hangs forever trying to create a texi file in libguile. To
reproduce, I can do by hand:
$ pwd
/Users/jaearick/gtk/source/guile-1.8.8/libguile
$ cat *.doc | GUILE="/Users/jaearick/gtk/source/guile-1.8.8/pre-inst-guile"
../scripts/snarf-check-and-output-texi
ERROR: Unbound variable: define (hangs forever)
^C
The problem lies in the snarf-check-and-output-texi script, but I have no
idea what this does. I tried to fake out this portion of the build by
simply doing "cat *.doc > guile-procedures.texi", which will get the rest
of guile to build, with a bogus texi file.
* The build of gnucash-git did not like my fakery with guile, because it
will then hang during the configure for gnucash:
checking for GUILE... yes
checking for guile... /Users/jaearick/gnucash-git/bin/guile
checking for guile-config... /Users/jaearick/gnucash-git/bin/guile-config
checking for guile-tools... /Users/jaearick/gnucash-git/bin/guile-tools
checking if (www main) is available... (hangs forever)
^C*** Error during phase configure of gnucash-git: ########## Error running
./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix /Users/jaearick/gnucash-git --libdir
'/Users/jaearick/gnucash-git/lib' --enable-ofx --enable-aqbanking
--enable-binreloc --enable-dbi --with-html-engine="webkit" *** [62/62]
Any ideas please?
Jeff
