I would like to get this fixed upstream too. Keep in mind though that compiz 0.9.7.0 has not even been released yet. The release in ubuntu/precise is an early preview so now might be premature trying to push it into other distros.
Regarding build instructions, this is mostly correct (if you ignore the "git" parts): http://wiki.compiz.org/C%2B%2BCompiling
Though, we should probably move the relevant details to the INSTALL file instead.
