I did not re-download .jhbuildrc-custom (because I had modifed it), or gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, but everything else got nuked.  I was trying to get everything herded into one subdirectory of my homedir, so I didn't have .git, gnucash-git, and gtk scattered there (that didn't work).   So I started by running gtk-osx-build-setup.sh, then the python build, then bootstrap, then "jhbuild build".  I was wondering if the XCode upgrade would perturb life.

You can control the build locations quite precisely with jhbuild parameters 'prefix' (which controls where installations go), 'buildrot' (where builds go if you're doing out-of-source builds),  'checkoutroot' (where VCS chcekouts and sources for out-of-source builds go), and 'tarballdir' (where downloads go) in jhbuildrc-custom.  See the jhbuild manual at https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/config-reference.html.en for more details.

I take it that I need to have another go at the -stdlib=libstdc++ flag for WebKit.
