It's not Ubuntu-specific; the clutter source tree is just broken right
now, and will only build completely if you already have a copy of
clutter installed.

The workaround: when the build bombs out, choose "open a shell", then
type "touch clutter/cogl/Cogl-0.9.gir", then exit the shell and continue
the build. Then afterwards, do "jhbuild buildone -f -c clutter" to do a
rebuild and actually generate that file correctly.
