Hm. it would be better if you could use pkg-config instead of specifying
EVTLOG_{CFLAGS,LIBS} directly

Are you regenerating the configure/libtool/automake files or are you
using the distributed copies?

The reason of the error probably is that "-o misc.o " is present twice
on the command line.

This is how the compilation looks like on my host:

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/home/bazsi/zwa/work/syslog-ng-2.0/syslog-ng/src \
	-I..   -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include   \
	-I/home/bazsi/zwa/install/syslog-ng-2.0/include/eventlog   \
	-D_GNU_SOURCE  -Wall -g -MT misc.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/misc.Tpo" \
          -c -o misc.o `test -f '/home/bazsi/zwa/work/syslog-ng-2.0/syslog-ng/src/misc.c' || echo '/home/bazsi/zwa/work/syslog-ng-2.0/syslog-ng/src/'`/home/bazsi/zwa/work/syslog-ng-2.0/syslog-ng/src/misc.c; \
        then mv -f ".deps/misc.Tpo" ".deps/misc.Po"; \
        else rm -f ".deps/misc.Tpo"; exit 1; \
        fi

As you see there's only one "-o misc.o" part on the command line, not twice as in yours.
