SVN version r19920 introduced a couple of build problems. This changed made src/core-utils/gnc-main.c include "gnome-utils/gnc-version.h". This works only if the build directory is the source directory. I normally build in a separate build directory parallel to the source directory. That way I can have both a debug and optimized build and I can start over from scratch by just blowing away the build directory (or moving it aside).

This problem can be fixed by changing the include to just "gnc-version.h" and adding -I${top_builddir}/src/gnome-utils to AM_CPPFLAGS in core-utils/Makefile.am, but then you hit another problem that I'm not sure how to fix. The problem is that gnc-version.h is built by gnome-utils/Makefile.am, but core-utils is built before gnome-utils. This means that if you build from scratch gnc-main.c tries to include it before it exists.

Something needs to get rearranged. You can't really move gnc_get_svn_version to gnome-utils since it needs to be available in a non-GUI build. I don't know what would happen if you tried to build gnome-utils before core-utils, but I suspect it wouldn't work.
