Maybe I was just reading too much into the config comments...

# In addition, you can override _exec_prefix (used to set $M4 and
# $LIBTOOLIZE); by default it's set to prefix. You might want to reset
# it if you want to bootstrap to one directory and build in another
# (or more likely, several others). Similarly, you can override
# tarballdir so that you need download tarballs only once for multiple
# builds.
# _exec_prefix = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "Source", "bootstrap")
# tarballdir = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "Source", "Download")

I thought it was a supported configuration, guess I was wrong ?
Easy enough to put those two lines in .jhbuildrc-custom instead.

It seemed to apply, since I was doing two builds for Universal...

It is now https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639820

Another minor problem is when using a SDK, since there are no
PC files in the /Developer/SDKs (and none at all for 10.4u.sdk)

But that's a completely different story, only affecting system. :-)
