[tlbuild] mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt does not find the mktexlsr.pl file

Did you compile with:
	--disable-native-texlive-build
and probably you also need
	--datarootdir=/usr/share
so that texmf-dist is searched in /usr/share/texmf-dist

kpse needs to find tan initial texmf.cnf file and searches for 
it in a set of compile time defaults. These defaults depend on
the above options as well as what is in 
	texk/kpathsea/texmf.cnf
in the sources

After it has found the initial texmf.cnf, everything can be 
overridden in the texmf.cnf, but finding the first one is a problem.
