Can not build dbus 0.33

[tj]

I cannot get dbus 0.33 to build and it is needed for the latest versions 
of Skype. Here is the error:

I searched via google and saw it was reported by one other, but a reply 
said it was fixed in 0.32_1. But, it fails for me using version 0.33

./configure with no options.
Kernel 2.4.26
Slackware 10.1
