I tried a different approach and solved it like this:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
$ ./configure
$   make
$   su
#   make install
#   cd /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
#   ln -s /usr/local/bin/xsane

Afterwards edited /etc/ld.so.conf to add /usr/local/lib so that no longer
need LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined to run xsane.

Simple in retrospect!
