If you're going through this many layers and layers of work and
debugging, it's time to seriously reconsider your project. Unless
someone is paying you hourly, what is justifying this much to work to
personally build the latest greatest? Can't you use the most recent
packaged version of the code, or reach out to their authors and ask
about their build environments?

The layers of building up the dependency trees are why I basically
gave up on doing my own Subversion RPM updates after 1.11 came out.
Jugglinig dependencies became pretty awkward.
