Sorry, I should have announced this sooner.

Gnome has dropped the bz2 and gz compression methods in favor of xz. This requires a new tool, xzip, which is now provided by the bootstrap.modules for gtk-osx. To get it, run

gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
jhbuild bootstrap

after which you can run your build.
