If you try to build gnucash in a directory other than the source directory you get a couple of build errors. If you try to run from that directory, it doesn't work quite right either. It is probably better to use an lndir directory for building, but if you don't want to do this, the attached patch fixes some of the problems related to building and running in a separate directory. It still uses some things from the install tree when running from the build directory, and won't work right if you've never installed it, but these patches help some. I'm sending them here since I didn't think this was worth a bug report.
I build gnucash from (what I consider to be ) a different directory all the time. I build a tarball from my updates svn tree and feed that into an rpmbuild to make rpm packages. The rpmbuild process (in my case at least) untars the tarball into ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/gnucash-1.9.0. That works even if I just tar up my svn directory (although the "topdir" of my svn is also called gnucash-1.9.0). I have also successfully taken the resulting srpm and built that on another machine that did not have gnucash installed.
