boo this really turns me off to the project!
The great thing about open source and the way the Apache Foundation works is that you can make it a priority; and put in the work to make sure the SDK compiles on Linux; and then helping get documentation and/or code changes into the next release of Apache Flex. If you're not a committer you can donate said documentation and/or code via the JIRA bug base.
I believe that would be productive use of your frustration for the lack of support.
