Thank you very much for your help.

In addition I made the following change to autoconf/Makefile.defines.in:
----------->diff starts below this line<--------------------
35a36
> LIBS_MISC       = -lm
45c46
< LIBRARIES     = $(LIBS_ASDYN) $(LIBS_XEXTS) $(LIBS_X)
---
> LIBRARIES     = $(LIBS_ASDYN) $(LIBS_XEXTS) $(LIBS_X) $(LIBS_MISC)           
----------->diff ends above this line<--------------------

This was required for a bunch of modules that refer the "pow" function. 

Also, one of the other errors that I had was:

===================================================
Animate: unable to connect to socket
'/u/sailesh//GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/non-
configurable/connect.DISPLAY=blandings.almaden.ibm.com:0.0': No such file or
dir
ectory
Animate: unable to establish connection to AfterStep
Wharf: unable to connect to socket
'/u/sailesh//GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/non-co
nfigurable/connect.DISPLAY=blandings.almaden.ibm.com:0.0': No such file or
direc
tory
Wharf: unable to establish connection to AfterStep

1356-806 xinit: Waiting for X server to shut down.  
==================================================

Since my home directory is mounted on AFS I suspected AFS permission problems.
To avoid this I moved the GNUstep directory to my local filesystem and
established a symlink from my home directory.

Thanks all ! 

Now to figure out how to configure AfterStep-1.8 !! I've only used the old
version before and this is completely new :-)
