I think I bumped up against this yesterday; it was just as my wife called me to dinner, so I didn't have time 
to investigate. I suspect that a search path is getting whacked.

The only option in jhbuild to ignore system-provided tools that I know about is the --ignore-system option to 
jhbuild bootstrap, which tells jhbuild to build a program even if it's already available on the path. Was 
there something else that I've missed?
