Usually -STABLE is a good point to start, but always remember
that -HEAD is a development branch and therefore sometimes
won't build. Wait a little, then obtain a more recent source
tree via svn.
If you start with -RELEASE and can build -STABLE, it will
show that your build environment basically works. You then
have the more recent one of -STABLE, which should be fine
for building -HEAD.
The approach you're thinking about is not wrong. :-)
