They should, and both the Mac and MSWin builds--built from that same tarball--say:
GnuCash 3.5
Build ID: 3.5+(2019-03-30)

Note the date on that commit, 4 February. That was a lot of commits ago.

Did you clean out your installation before building? GnuCash uses dlopen to open its module libraries during the build and ld will look first in the standard installation directories like /usr/lib before looking in the build directory. That can cause all manner of trouble.
