Nothing.  I think the repository had been set up to allow that hasn't it.

On the other hand, some parts of the phone (like camera) are not open
source and so for that, HTC or the hardware manufacturer has to
release a binary for upgrades.

So yes you can build current code and flash it to your handset but
proprietary stuff won't work.

*Note, knowing that I gave up building so my understanding may be off
- but I do think the repository is getting closer and closer to
supporting building a new version for ADP2.
