I built again and zipped the result.

you can get it here:

 http://www.fbakan.de/temp/Sane-OS2-Build.zip

The zip-file contains the generated libtool, the main Makefile,
the output from configure and make stdout (.1) and stderr (.2)
and the old os2-specific-libtool, which used to work.

Probably, I will try with --disable-shared --enable-static later this weekend.

Should be included. Let me know if you need more content.
