Try setting LDFLAGS to -L/usr/athena/lib as well, or just setting LIBS
to "-L/usr/athena/lib -laudiofile". Otherwise configure will die
trying to determine that the compiler works.

I think this was a build order issue; -lesd -laudiofile are supposed
to come from "gnome-config --libs gnomeui", since -lgnome includes
some esound stuff. But for some reason, when that command was run
during the libglade configuration, those libraries weren't included.
My guess is that:
* gnome-libs was built before esound, because the packages file
didn't list a dependency. gnome-libs happily built anyway,
without esound support.
* libglade built happily against the non-esound-enabled gnome-libs,
and its libglade-config script hardcoded the return value of
"gnome-config --libs gnomeui", which did not include esound stuff.
* gnome-libs was rebuilt for an early patch release in order to get
some fix in. This time, the gnome-libs configuration found
esound, and compiled in support for it. But libglade was not
rebuilt in order to pick up the new value of "gnome-config --libs
gnomeui".
One more reason why gnome *-config scripts should invoke sub-configs
at runtime instead of hardcoding their values. I'll probably submit a
bug report against libglade, although almost every gnome package is
guilty of this sin. If I'm lucky, the right developers will read it.
I have added a dependency in the packages file for gnome-libs on
esound, and rebuilt the libglade configuration scripts for the next
patch release, which should be today due to the SUNWski screw.
