Is there any reason you don't just install the g-wrap-1.3.4 and
gnucash-1.8.2 RPMS that Red Hat distributes for RH-8.1?

This is because rlb was confused about the gcc-3.2 issue and
therefore failed to properly correct for it.

GCC 3.2 complains when you manually add a directory to the include
path that is already a part of the system include path.  In other
words, gcc complains when you add -I/usr/include or
-I/usr/local/include to the gcc command-line.

Do you by chance have another g-wrap installed on your system?
This clearly is complaining about not finding g-wrap-compatibility.h,
but I've _never_ seen this.  The only thing I can imagine is that
you've got a g-wrap 1.2 installed somewhere and it's finding that
before the includes in source tree.  This just looks weird....
