The build process ignores the *value* of the WITH_* variables.  What you want is:

make -DWITHOUT_GNOME install

You have too low of a MAXUSERS value in your kernel config.  By default, GENERIC has a maxusers value of 32, and you probably 
should never drop below that.  It limits (among other things) the number of processes that can be running at one time.  When 
you run out of those, make can't run the various commands it needs to run in order to build/install things.
