In the g2clib makefile, there are some extra CFLAGS that may be forcing this error (“…Predefined bitmap applies…”). I was getting this error too, did some experimenting, and ended up with the third line below:

#CFLAGS= -fPIC -O3 -g -m64 $(INC) $(DEFS) -D__64BIT__
#CFLAGS= -fPIC -O3 -g -m64  $(INC) $(DEFS)
CFLAGS=  $(INC) $(DEFS)

It may be an issue related to the version of libpng your build is linking to. What do you from this:
