If multiple well-skilled people cannot build a GPL-licensed source code with the source code as provided and instructions as provided, wouldn't that be a black-&-white flagrant violation of the GPL? The natural conclusion seems to be: either the source code provided mismatched or the narrative instructions to build were omitting some secret-sauce, either of which was an unintentional or intentional preventative of success. The unintentionality versus intentionality would be able to be determined only after the fact by observing the root-cause of the preventative of successful building once that root cause is discovered/reported. This irreproducibility is both notable and highly interesting.
