As an update on this issue, I have been able to build with autotools and,
through a process of elimination, have discovered that the problem occurs
when I use the --enable-debug configure switch, but not otherwise. In other
words:

../gnucash/configure --srcdir=/home/gnucash-dev/gitcheckouts/gnucash
--prefix=/opt/gnucash-git/gnucash --enable-debug --enable-doxygen
--enable-error-on-warning --enable-compile-warnings=yes
--with-dbi-dbd-dir=/usr/lib64/dbd --enable-ofx --enable-aqbanking
--enable-locale-specific-tax --enable-python

fails make with the indicated error while:

../gnucash/configure --srcdir=/home/gnucash-dev/gitcheckouts/gnucash
--prefix=/opt/gnucash-git/gnucash --enable-doxygen
--enable-error-on-warning --enable-compile-warnings=yes
--with-dbi-dbd-dir=/usr/lib64/dbd --enable-ofx --enable-aqbanking
--enable-locale-specific-tax --enable-python

succeeds through make, make check and, as root, make install.

I don't know why though.
