I've done some work on the build system a couple of years ago. I agree that the project suffers from a lot of legacy code in the build system. Unfortunately there aren't unlimited resources to fix it "The Right Way" with a big overhaul. But maybe it would be a good idea if someone were able to volunteer to do it.
In the meantime, I can't see any reason not to be supportive of incremental fixes. But that would require some logs and a specific description of the problem before anyone can look at it. It could be anything, but my wild guess is that there's a dependency missing and the build script does a poor job of emitting a proper error message.
