I do something similar with a script:
https://github.com/LeoUfimtsev/ldts/blob/master/pathscripts/swtjnibuild

Btw thank you for the line above, it allows me to compile swt's custom code with debug support :-D (-g3). I've been researching how to do this for a while.
I integrated it into the script above.
Now I can debug/step through the Gtk/C part of swt Custom inside Eclipse, which is handy for debugging the native calls. 
Later I'll add description to guide about debbugging the Gtk/C part of SWT. 

Btw, I added a dynamic table of content for easier navigation & linking, now easier to read:
