Both follow the conventional GNU paradigm:

  $ configure && make && make install

By default, configure should set prefix to /mingw; use the --prefix=... 
option, if you wish to stage it elsewhere.  Besides that, there is one 
wrinkle you should consider ... both source packages are interdependent, 
and must both must be available (in unpacked form), in a common parent directory, before either can be built as a separate entity.

You may find it more convenient to build from a git, (or hg), clone of 
the WSL repository:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mingw-org-wsl/ci/5.0-active/tree/

This supports building both packages as an integrated entity, but does 
require an additional pre-configuration step, (in the top directory of 
the cloned repository tree):

  $ autoreconf -I ..

I'd also recommend building in a separate directory for each distinct 
configuration you wish to create, (a subdirectory at the top level of 
your source clone is fine), e.g.:

  $ mkdir build-sjlj && cd build-sjlj
  $ ../configure --prefix=<your-choice> && make && make install

should build and install both packages for you.

That would likely be a mandatory requirement ... be sure to build it all 
with that sjlj compiler itself.
