The problem seems to be arch independent as this happens on all buildds
(at least the ones that got this far).   The problem is most likely
caused by code like 

        foo: 
                @(topdir=$(PWD); \
                  cd some/dir ; \
                  $(MAKE) ; \
                  cd $$topdir)
        
in the build system.  For some reason, in the buildds (using dash I
think), PWD is set to HOME (!?).   The above could be written as 

        foo:
                @$(MAKE) -C some/dir 

which does seem to fix the problem.  

I will upload a new release of the sources soon - but I'd like to nail
some other bugs too (mainly FTBFS for other reasons on
non-(upstream)-supported platforms). 

Other buildd-maintainers of other archs, please do not submit this bug
again.  Thank you. 



yours,
