I'm pretty sure that *is* documented on the Wiki build pages, or at
least used to be. I once built on Ubuntu and found that option on the
Wiki to get it working.
I was lightly following some Wiki Build Instruction discussion on IRC
recently and I think that very option (with needed dependency) was
pointed out as not being quite obvious.
Check out the Build on Linux pages (along with the sub-pages about
dependencies) and read their Talk sections for more current info and
state of the edits.

The build instructions on the wiki are very good. The most time will be
spent reading and making sure you have the build environment and
dependencies. If you get that right, the actual build is fairly quick and
painless.
It was all a bit of a non-event really, what I *actually* needed to do
was add a library that GnuCash needs for sqlite to work. It (the
library) doesn't get installed by default because it's not listed as a
dependency.
For information the library needed is called libdbd-sqlite3 in the
Debian/Ubuntu Linux world.
Where should/would this be documented? I'm happy to put things in
motion to get it done if it isn't already.
