That said, I think jhbuild is a convenient way of building and
installing GNOME and its deps to /usr. PolicyKit, NetworkManager and
friends can probably work if you install them as root. That can be
tricky, but that's LFS after all... ;-)

So to me your only problem (for now) is that --sysconfdir doesn't seem
to be taken into account by jhbuild. Maybe you should ping more clued-up
people about that, e.g. fpeters on #gnome-hackers (unless he answers
here).

But isn't there a recommended way of building GNOME on LFS?
