I looked at the file "/sbin/lrm" and I didn't found any mention of test
refering to "$BUID_DIRECTORY". So I added one, and tried the packages
that were failing to compile when already installed, like xpdf or glibc,
and it's now working !

Here is a patch, I don't know if someone is willing to check it and put
it in the moonbase...

By the way, am I the only one who get "xpdf" failing when you
recompile it by "lin -c" ?
