Yes, that file does seem broken in the way you describe. Starting at line 132:

/* Glib major version */
#define _GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* Glib micro version */
#define _GLIB_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* Glib minor version */
#define _GLIB_MINOR_VERSION ()

/* gnome-vfs major version */
#define _GNOME_VFS_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* gnome-vfs micro version */
#define _GNOME_VFS_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* gnome-vfs minor version */
#define _GNOME_VFS_MINOR_VERSION ()

/* gstreamer major version */
#define _GST_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* gstreamer micro version */
#define _GST_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* gstreamer minor version */
#define _GST_MINOR_VERSION ()

/* gtksourceview2 major version */
#define _GTKSOURCEVIEW2_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* gtksourceview2 micro version */
#define _GTKSOURCEVIEW2_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* gtksourceview2 minor version */
#define _GTKSOURCEVIEW2_MINOR_VERSION ()

/* Gtk+ major version */
#define _GTK_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* Gtk+ micro version */
#define _GTK_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* Gtk+ minor version */
#define _GTK_MINOR_VERSION ()

/* librsvg major version */
#define _LIBRSVG_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* librsvg micro version */
#define _LIBRSVG_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* librsvg minor version */
#define _LIBRSVG_MINOR_VERSION ()

/* Pango major version */
#define _PANGO_MAJOR_VERSION ()

/* Pango micro version */
#define _PANGO_MICRO_VERSION ()

/* Pango minor version */
#define _PANGO_MINOR_VERSION ()

That all looks quite broken.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about autotools to figure this out.
However, I've put up a tarball of the gtk directory just after a make
failed, at http://code.haskell.org/~gwern/gtk-broken.tar.gz so people
can look at it themselves?
