Comment(by hamish):

 I just tried 6.4.3svn again --without-python and --without-wxwidgets.

 The experience was the same. It still tried to `make` the wxwidgets gui,
 and failed with this error:

 but after cd'ing into the dir and trying a second time it built ok.

 note python was present on the system (see lack of errors about that in
 the above log snippet), I'm not sure what would happen if it wasn't
 installed, e.g. with the attempted byte compiling of lib/python/ and
 population of dist.`arch`/etc/python/grass/lib/.
 Probably you'd get a non-fatal error about it listed in error.log.
