Yeah, I know about both issues. The Gwenhywfar problem needs the patch tweaked a bit for the new version. I did that a couple of days ago but didn't get it completely right for 10.10. The actual fix is to replace #include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h> with #include <mach-o/dyld.h> in gwenhywfar-1.13.1/src/os/posix/directory.c.

The g-ir-scanner problem that manifests with libsoup is caused by some weirdness in glib-networking that utterly baffles me. The workaround is to select '4 - open a shell' from the jhbuild menu, then
  cd ../glib-networking-2.42.1
  make uninstall && make install
Then ctrl-d to quit the shell and select "1 - rerun phase build`.
