Thanks for the hint, even though my problem wasn't there. This reaction
has still pushed me towards a retry, this time I have de-installed the
version of JHbuild I installed with the package manager and built my own
one from source. It certainly gets a lot farther now, but it still
doesn't complete without errors.
When configuring GLib, it seems to generate a config.lt file with a
syntax error. Googling the command on the unsyntactic line doesn't help,
and my bash knowledge is not sufficient to find the error. The line I'm
referring to is the following:
lt_join(, ,lt_decl_varnames, )='(, ,lt_decl_varnames, )'
What I also learn from the command-line output is that one of the commas
is unexpected, so probably this line shows empty spaces where should be
some kind of NULL declarations. However I do not know for sure if this
is the problem, and also I don't know how to type NULL in bash (and the
possibilities I can think of (NULL, Null and null) don't seem to be
anything according to Gedit's syntax higlighting). Does anyone know how
to solve this issue?

I first tried Jhbuild (from the Ubuntu / Linux Mint repository, adding
some missing modules from the source version on GIT). However it did not
work because it did not recognize waf modules, even though I installed
waf and added the Jhbuild waf module to the jhbuild/modtypes directory.
jhbuild should do the job. When you're stuck with an error, you might
want to have a look at the following page on GNOME's wiki:
