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.
