FWIW, the gentoo prefix distribution allows you to compile modern
packages with an old distribution. I haven't tried building gnucash
with it, but I have no problems building similar packages with gtk2/3
or qt5 dependencies.

It takes a while to bootstrap it, but once its up and running, it is
way easier than trying to compile everything by hand.
