[tex-live] TeX Live build fails: ... no executables under .../inst/bin

Hi Karl!

Thanks, true.  And now that I did

> export TL_INSTALL_DEST=/mnt/install/...; ./Build

instead of supplying the "--prefix" option I'm rewarded by 
absence of any error messages!

Best, Mirko

     --prefix=/mnt/install/tools/texlive-2010-07-20

Are there binaries under that --prefix?

My simplistic little code at the end of Build to count binaries doesn't
pay attention to --prefix (take a look, you'll see).  So I doubt this
error is meaningful, sorry.

    > export ARCH=x86_64

FYI, don't do that.  It was never needed.

Best,
