Not that I know of. Can you please backup /var/lib/gdm, and clean the
directory completely? Don't erase the directory, just its contents
(including *ALL* the hidden files); gdm needs this directory to start,
and it's gid gdm and uid gdm.
After you have cleaned it, recompile gdm with the gnome-shell and try
again. I still don't see why gnome-shell is not starting, but gdm may
have problems with its user config (which is stored in /var/lib/gdm),
and *maybe* gnome-shell cannot start correctly if gdm is not built
with the gnome-shell use flag.
Regards.
