Humm...

 From the source code folder root type make

This should give you some files on stage2/ which are:
stage2, stage1, stage1_5_e2fs

and

then you can install grub with these files manually to test it.
I think it is explained on grub faq. It consists on copying the files on 
a /boot/grub/ folder and issuing root and setup commands so that they 
get installed.

Do not hesitate to ask me for more details.

You might be interested on Super Grub Disk source code that automatises 
the compilation for the creation of a cdrom or a floppy and once you see 
it works on a cdrom... you build the final stage2 and stage1_5 for hard 
disks.
