I left out the missing.
And got these

Apple has not provided any .la files.
The first of these is quite useful. I think I may understand a
bit better now. It seems that for libtool to work you need either
all the relevant .la files or none. The show-stopper is not just
that certain .la files don't exist any more on OS X, but that
these non-existent files are referenced in other .la files.
You could try this experiment: go to
/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/lib
and (probably after backing them up) delete all the *.la files in
that directory. Also (if necessary) track down and delete any .la
files in other directories from which libraries are pulled into
the gretl build (in my case that would include /usr/local/lib).
Then try running gretl's configure script again and see if make
works.
