It does build here on debian unstable.

It compiles and builds on Fedora 12-16, and Ubuntu 9.04 to 11.10, and many other Linux variants. But the
*build-gnuradio* script only deals with Fedora and Ubuntu, because:
o The biggest swath of Linux-using population for Gnu Radio uses Fedora and Ubuntu--biggest bang for the buck
o The author of that script (me) happens to be a user of Fedora (primarily) and Ubuntu (secondarily), so
had familiarity with the "build recipes" for those two distributions.
I've always said that I invite patches that give a matching "recipe" (as embodied in the shell script) for other
Linux distributions. I'm not any kind of Fedora/Ubuntu purist fanboy. That's just what I happen to have been
familiar with when I wrote build-gnuradio.
And you don't *have* to use build-gnuradio. There are "recipes" for a number of Linux distributions up on the
website for those who want to go the manual route (and testing and inevitable tweaking of those recipes
when they're incorrect or out-of-date). I can't maintain those recipes myself--Fedora and Ubuntu are enough
work by themselves.
