Checking the sources out from the TeXLive upstream SVN:
svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source/libs/

It shouldn't be needed if we manage to compile texlive against poppler.

Binary texlive won't build without the main texmf tree. Configure complains:
  *****************************************************************
  * Error: The main texmf tree was not found.                     *
  * If you do not have the files, you should be able to them from *
  * the same place you got these sources from, or from one of the *
  * CTAN hosts.                                                   *
  *****************************************************************
  Winging it.

then it tries to use files in $TEXMFMAIN:
tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found.
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.

and ends up with some utilities not build/installed:

It's useless, so it's now removed.

Removed.

Fixed.

Yes, it's now fixed. Comment removed.
