Ingo made a change to the build system some time ago which made the 
jamfile for the server much less complex. If you want to build and run 
the server for R5, go to src/tools/servers/app and run Jam. You'll 
build all the tests (last I knew, Playground didn't build) and the 
server will also be built as haiku_app_server.
