Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
jhbuild could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the /usr/bin/jhbuild binary embedded the absolute
build to get it's "source" directory. A patch is attached that imports
the jhbuild module and determines this location programmatically
instead.
