I use a rather primitive approach to building to prevent my lack of  
experience and absent mindedness from getting in the way ;-).

What I did today was to make a fresh copy of the developers sources  
and autogen/configure/make.

After getting the error I looked back through the recent changesets  
found the labeled "make fltk backend figures work again" and reverted  
it manually. Then in my absent minded fashion I typed "make" in .../src

Once it finished, I realized my error and backed up a directory and  
ran make from there. As you might imagine my graphics.h does not  
contain any reference to get_all_children (neither does anything else  
at this point.

I'm starting a new fresh build and will report back when it fails  
(hopefully tonight).
