Why are you trying to build as root? That's always a bad idea and the build 
has never required such action.

Copy the tree to userspace and build it from there (using 
--enable-opt-style-install as in the README.cvs)

Those are not a problem, my build proceeds normally despite outputting these 
(or similar) warnings.

There's something else missing here, another message or some other output?

What is the command you are using?

I use:
cd /opt/working/gnucash-gnome2/
./autogen.sh --enable-doxygen --enable-opt-style-install \ 
--prefix=/opt/garfield/gnome2
