No gotcha's that I'm aware of. When building from source if you're on a
z890 or z990 you may want to consider changing the make files to add the
compiler tuning options (you can do this on SLES10 for a z9 also).
A new all-in-one patch was just released for Hobbit that includes all of
the patches created since 4.2 was released. You may also want to apply
it before you build and let the other group know about it.
Good luck.

Building the client is very easy (much easier than the server). If you
prefer RPMs I have them for SLES9 (unfortunately the last time I checked
the package maintainer did not put them on sourceforge, although I sent
them to him). I don't have a SLES10 handy, so I do not know if they
will work there.
One of the config files will need to be changed to point to the Hobbit
server. Let me know if you want the RPM and I'll send it privately.
Are they preparing Hobbit to run on Linux for System z? It does run
quite well there...
