It compiled for me (including DLLs) almost out of the box.  I did make the
following change to lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh.  I am not sure that the change
was required, because I did not try without it.  But, it "felt" like a
better idea to me :^D.

In the prep rule, remove all the autotool stuff between:
  touch INSTALL && \
and
  rm -f INSTALL )

replacing it simply with:
  autoreconf --install --force && \

so it reads:
prep() {
  (cd ${topdir} && \
  tar xv${opt_decomp}f ${src_orig_pkg} ; \
  cd ${topdir} && \
  patch -p0 < ${src_patch}
  && mkdirs ) && \
  (cd ${srcdir} && \
  touch INSTALL && \
  autoreconf --install --force && \
  rm -f INSTALL )
}

To do a debug build, just look at the target all:
  all) prep && conf && build && install && \
     strip && pkg && spkg && finish ; \
          STATUS=$? ;;

and do everything but the strip step.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you.
