I use jhbuild [svn://svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild] to maintain parallel
development environments, and it is especially useful where you need to
compile, install and use the latest library versions from within your
writeable area.

All you're missing here is 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib'. You may
also consider adding 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' as well, as a few
libraries install binaries that are used during the compilation phase.
However, for the toolchain you are compiling, they should all be using
paths provided by pkg-config.

Hope this helps.
