That’s the problem: Everything else is 32-bit. Change the setup_sdk() call in ~/.jhbuildrc-custom to 
  setup_sdk(architectures=[‘i386’])
and rebuild everything.

Another issue: Be sure to run
  install_name_tool -change /Users/gnucash/gnucash-stable/lib/libdbi.1.dylib \
  @executable_path/../Resources/lib/libdbi.1.dylib \
  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/lib/dbd/libdbdpgsql.so

(That’s all one command, note the ‘\’ at the end of the first two lines) so that GnuCash and libdbdpgsql are using the same instance of the library; weird memory errors are likely if they don’t.
