This is a bit easier now: some programs (currently Pager and ROX-CLib) show a Compile button in the interface properties dialog. See this blog post.
If the build fails, click on 'Notify developers' so we can see why. I suspect that our GLib headers may cause problems on non-x86 systems, but no-one has complained and I don't have a system to test on, so I'm waiting for a bug report ;-)
