Unfortunately, the problem is still there, it just happens only when
sbuild is building arch:all packages, that is, the option -A is not
passed. Buildds don't pass this option, but this bug for instance
prevents building an NMU.

I believe the problem is in
http://sources.debian.net/src/opal/3.12.8~dfsg-1/make/toplevel.mak.in#L760

Here, the makefile is trying to change to PTLIBDIR. How is this supposed
to work?

Best,
Reinhard
