That's of course the best solution for getting the syscall numbers.

That's fine.

 From a quick look at the configure output I see:
[...]
checking for libxml2 installation... not found
configure: ****** libxml2 support unavailable
[...]
checking for gv... no
checking for gsview32... no
[...]
checking for doxygen... no
[...]
checking for zip... no
[...]
checking valgrind/valgrind.h usability... no
checking valgrind/valgrind.h presence... no
[...]
configure: Summary of engine detection features
[...]
               dmg and xar : no

These are fixed with the following build dependencies:
gv, doxygen, zip, valgrind, libxml2-dev

But I don't know, if they are actually needed, except for libxml2-dev, 
which is needed for dmg and xar support.

Perhaps you can check, where/if the other build-dependencies are needed.

Best regards,
Andreas
