Thank you for the report. Yes I agree configure should have noticed this
(because it has bitten me as well in the past :-)). Either automake
will fix it, or gettext's configure will fix it.

The "emacs" executable on your machine was built on a machine that had
libXaw3d.so.6; now this library is not available in the default shared
library search path apparently. Either you have copied the emacs from
a different machine, or the libXaw3d.so.6 was removed, or the
shared library configuration ($LD_LIBRARY_PATH, /etc/ld.so.conf or
similar) has changed.

Yes, I agree.
