That sounds quite painful.  There's probably an easier way.

First, depending on what you want to do, you may not need to build all of GNOME.  What is your goal here?  Do you only want to run GNOME, or to work on it as a developer?  Is there some particular program you want to run or develop?

Second, I don't know how easily you could switch distributions, but Debian is pretty far behind GNOME these days - Debian stable/testing/unstable all still have GNOME 3.4 which is over a year old.  Debian experimental has GNOME 3.8, but might be more unstable than unstable, of course.  Both Fedora 19 Beta and Arch currently have GNOME 3.8.  The daily builds of Ubuntu 13.10 also have most of GNOME 3.8, though some packages are still at 3.6.  If you want to switch to one of these distros, you may have an easier time.
