It should be --with-gtk3 (configure --help is your friend) but it
might be that this will cause build failures for other components than
datetime-setter. I looked into /usr/bin/xdt-autogen (which is called
by autogen.sh): You can add all configure options to autogen
(--enable-maintainer-mode is automatically appended) and don't need to
rerun configure again.

You need to run make install as root - but note that you are
installing a development version which might cause serious effects -
xfsettingsd is a very central component. Don't do that on a
'productive' machine.

I put xfce-mailing list to cc so others can share your results.
