It is newer, no worries.  I'm going to put a FAQ on the wiki about this.

The error in config.log is:

/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmessages.h:128: warning: invalid
character in macro parameter name
/usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmessages.h:128: badly punctuated
parameter list in `#define'

In my gmessages.h, that's
125 #ifdef G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS
126 #define g_error(...)    g_log (G_LOG_DOMAIN,         \
127                                G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR,    \
128                                __VA_ARGS__)

which suggests that glib was built with a compiler that understands
__VA_ARGS__ (I think this is a C99 thing), but that you're not
building Amanda with such a compiler.  It looks like configure is
finding gcc-2.7.2.1.  Amanda itself requires a C99 compiler, so you'll
probably need to use a newer gcc.
