Also note to build mingw-gtk2 you need to have already built the same 
version of gtk2 natively, becuase the cross-compile build process
needs various native gtk tools to generate code. So you really need
to build mingw-gtk2 version which matches the gtk in RHEL5, at which
point the automake version is a non-issue, because older gtk2 will
work fine with the older automake in RHEL5
