Thanks very much for trying this.

The problem seems to be some interaction with your build environment. We first 
build a stage1 lisp, then we clean the system and then we build the final 
lisp. This we do to get some test of the viability of the new lisp :-S.

It seems that the protection of the stage1 lisp against the clean script is 
not sufficient. Are you running it as root?

So the lisp is in stage1

clean the build directory

And it is gone?

Experimenting it seem this is only done if you run the build as root (even 
with fakeroot), running it as a mere user works. As the buildd's also seem to 
run the build as a mere user this problem has never shown itself until now.
