This is where 'make -j1 install' put the gnunet libraries. I wasn't 
really surprised since this is an x86_64 system - I was, in fact, kind 
of expecting it this way.

You are correct, this worked a treat! This is so simple I didn't think 
of such work-around... Thank you!

Apparently the configure script of gnunet-gtk expects gnunet libraries 
to be always in a 'lib' subdirectory, which is inconsistent with 'make 
install' behavior of the gnunet package itself. I will prepare a Mantis 
report about this.

BTW, I have to run 'make install' with the -j1 parameter, otherwise it 
fails. This is because the makefile rules doesn't seem to cover all 
internal dependencies right, and my make is parallelized by default (I 
use a MAKEFLAGS env variable). I will report it through Mantis as well.

Anyway, everything builds now, so it's a success. :)
Time to play with gnunet at last. Thanks a ton for your help!

Here below, for archival purpose, is the "recipe" that worked for 
building the gnunet suit on my system:
