gattrib and gschem should not try to update the mime database, they
should try to update the application .desktop file database.
Try adding --disable-update-desktop-database to the ./configure options.

I can't do much about the icon cache update without hacking the icon
installer script - which I didn't want to do unless necessary. You might
need to remove the ${prefix}/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache should
the installer create one. (I can't remember if it does or not when
installing into a DESTDIR rather than directly.)
Which file was it you had to remove?
PS.. Its really good to hear there was only minimal packaging breakage,
and that it can be worked around.
