Thank you very much, that did help!

It didn't exactly answer my distinct question ("How do you generate 
these snapshots?"), but I was able to figure it out by myself now.

After some manual copying and linking and investigating I finally found 
what I need need to do:

$ ./utils/setup-alsa-kernel -c ../../sound

After that I can copy just the 'alsa' folder to another machine and it 
wil build.

The problem is, this procedure requires 1.6 GB of disk space. I'm 
building on another system that does not have that much space right now. 
The mentioned snapshot (and now the result from the 'setup-alsa-kernel' 
script) is consuming only about 100 MB after a full build.

These are all steps required:

~$ mkdir tiwai; cd tiwai
~/tiwai$ git clone git://github.com/tiwai/alsa-driver-build.git
~/tiwai$ git clone git://github.com/tiwai/sound.git
~/tiwai$ cd alsa-driver-build
~/tiwai/alsa-driver-build$ git checkout build
~/tiwai/alsa-driver-build$ cd alsa
~/tiwai/alsa-driver-build/alsa$ ./utils/setup-alsa-kernel -c ../../sound

Now the alsa folder contains everything needed.
Finally:

some-other-machine/alsa$ ./gitcompile --with-debug=full 
--enable-dynamic-minors
