The beauty of using autogen & co is that you can simply do this:

export CFLAGS='-O6 -mpentium'
export CC='egcs'
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome
make && make install

That's all I did except that I used some more flags that I can't recall
right now, but I have them on my computer at home. There was some problems
with gnome-libs though, I'll post a description of what I did tomorrow when
I get access to my own computer.

The environment flags override the defaults so if you want debugging, put a
'-g' in the CFLAGS. Debugging is probably a good idea, since gnome is still
beta or alpha or whatnot :)

So, try compiling with optimizations turned on, just to feel the kick when
everything runs soo smooth and much faster than windows! MWAHAHAHA see Bill
in the rearview mirror! ;)
