I know.

Ah, this sucks. ;)

Okay, I have found the real source of my problem: it's a documentation
bug. I was following the build directions in the toplevel GEM.README
where I read:

-------------------------------------
To install GEM on linux:
chdir into <Gemdir>/src/Gnu
read the README.build etc...

-------------------------------------

README.build says: run autoconf, configure, make.

But "<Gemdir>/src/Gnu" seems to be the wrong directory to do the
compilation.  Instead one has to configure and make inside
"<Gemdir>/src/" now.  Doing that will lead to a successful compile. 

Ciao
