Actually, it *does*. If the code was released with missing 'magic fairy
dust' required to actually compile the GPL derived binaries they
release, they would be in violation of GPL2 section 3.
You should read http://gpl-violations.org/faq/sourcecode-faq.html to
understand the implications of the GPL on source code release. You want
to read the sections on 'What are "scripts used to control
compilation"?' and 'What are "scripts used to control installation"?'
