Thanks for the suggested workaround.  My current attempt
of defining WITHOUT_GNOME just died in g-i for the 5th
time.  If g-i requires pth, then it should be listed in
its Makefile as a prerequisite.  OTOH, if g-i does need
pth, then your suggested "fix" is papering over a bug
within the gnome framework.
