Another update. Thanks to lots of help from lots of people, I'm down to 
just three known build failures. (There might be more hidden behind 
modules I failed to build last night, but probably not many.) Two are 
easy and just need new tarballs. There is only one real problem right 
now: simple-scan. Here is the build error:

../../../../releases/gnome-apps-3.25.90/simple-scan-3.25.90/src/app-window.vala:1441.95-1441.100: 
error: The name `code' does not exist in the context of `Pk.Error'
                      result_text = _("Failed to install drivers 
(error code %d).").printf (e.code);
                                                                       
                   ^^^^^^
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

The problem seems to be that in GNOME we have two different, competing 
packagekit-glib2.vapi files: one installed by PackageKit and one 
installed by vala. The one installed by vala has Error.code, but the 
one installed by PackageKit seems to take precedence, and it does not 
have Error.code. The two sets of bindings are really 
significantly/worryingly different. I'm really not sure what to make of 
this.

Since this might indicate a major issue somewhere in either the 
gobject-introspection or vala stacks, I don't think we should proceed 
until simple-scan is buildable.
