[tex-live] a lot of binaries contain garbage

Hi!

I noticed this too (in sparc-solaris binaries directory):

Obviously, it makes absolutely no sense because the system where it
will be run will not contain such directories. It should be fixed.

Note that this bad change occured DURING THIS YEAR'S CHANGES, as I was
checking for such bug i nprevious year's binaries, and there were no
build directories preloaded into the binaries.

Best,
