Just add

skip.append("ige-mac-integration")

to .jhbuildrc-custom and press on.

You're a bit on your own with 64-bit past gtk+, though. There may be  
other libraries that choke; I can't test them all (and I haven't yet  
even done PyGtk, though that's on my todo list). Note that modulesets- 
stable and modulesets won't work in 64-bit because pango is held back  
for Tiger compatibility.

You might find the results from adding

setup_sdk("10.6", "10.6", "i386")

to your jhbuildrc-custom INSTEAD and then starting over more  
satisfying. That will build a fully-functional 32-bit build, which is  
known to work for most everything.

Note well that the framework jhbuildrc files haven't been updated to  
work with Snow Leopard, so you'll have to modify those to work  
yourself if you're really intent on building a framework.
