build gnucash-git woes with Mac OS, Xcode 5.1

[Jeff Earickson]

John,

Yes, I turned off optimization.  No go with 5.1.  Traditionally I always
used "-g -O" for gcc compiles.

I had wondered if the upgrade from 5.0.2 to 5.1 went ok on my home machine
(slow network), so I did a start-from-scratch build on my work box this
morning (which also has Xcode 5.1).  Same deal, it hangs at guile, trying
to create guile-procedures.texi.

Since I spend most of my time trying to get up to speed on gnucash at home,
I am going to leave Xcode 5.02 there.  I found the --force option for
jhbuild last night, so my first mission is to get a clean compile of
everything using the same compiler.  Having different chunks of the code
compiled with different versions of gcc/clang sounds like a recipe for
misery.
