Hello, Thank you for reporting this bug. I had noticed that on several platforms the source failed to build. However, this seems to be a problem with blender. For details see bug #330920.
I had noticed that it tried (and failed) to create some config files in the home directory, but that wasn't what caused the build failure. However, I didn't think of it as a problem, but of course it is. I fixed this by creating a temporary directory as $HOME, and removing it afterward. Looking at strace's output, it doesn't touch the real home directory anymore. I think it should really be fixed in blender, and I saw you filed a bug there already. Thanks. The new package is currently awaiting upload by my sponsor. Thank you for reporting this issue, Bas Wijnen -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
