I use both Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 13 without any problems. I agree
however that getting the first time used to
building with jhbuild might be dirty.

Normally, git sources should always compile. However, sometimes they
don't and you are better asking in #gedit about your error.

A valuable hint is to use the --ignore-suggest option when building.
Other hint is to clone libpeas by hand and compile it under jhbuild
shell.
