I think it's better to invest resources in making a bootable distribution
soon and you should try to fix Ubuntu, probably the easier way is:
Install with GSRC:
 http://www.gnu.org/software/gsrc/gsrc.html
And add the paths:
 For bash:
  cat 'export PATH=$PATH:~/gnu/bin'>>.bashrc
  cat 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/gnu/lib'>>.bashrc
 For dash:
  cat 'export PATH=$PATH:~/gnu/bin'>>.profile
  cat 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/gnu/lib'>>.profile
