I managed once to build entire Gnome during 2.7 using jhbuild (with
features jamesh just introduced back then to build outside of your
checkout directory, basically mimicking what distcheck is doing,
without the "make check" part :), and I remember having only to fix a
few Makefile.am's to use $(top_srcdir) and $(top_builddir) where
appropriate.  And yeah, some gtk-doc stuff was causing big problems
for me, but I can't remember if I resolved that or I just disabled it
at the time. :(

So, I think it should be doable, and more than useful!

Cheers,
