Are you able to compile the complete code. If yes after running configure 
script edit Makefile manually see if -g option is there in CFLAGS 
CFLAGS = -g 
Remove -O2 flag if its present. 
Similar is the case with 
CXXFLAGS = -g 
gmake clean 
then try running 
gdb libpurple/example/.libs/nullclient 
Hope this will help you.
