Have to? I can not think of any distros so bad you "have to" build jack, 
even Ubuntu 14.04 is workable if broken and in that case there are PPAs 
with a known good version. I use the broken version from 14.04 BTW, the 
brokenness has not been that hard to work around. None of the problems you 
have stated seem to stem from that bug anyway.

I would normally say ./jackd should do it fine. however, I do not know if 
it uses libjack which would normally be grabbed from the installed 
version. I am thinking that libjack is what clients use except I can think 
of places a backend might use some of the same calls. a long winded way of 
saying I don't really know.
