What purpose does it serve to set the build number thru the environment? And
this patch would only change the buildid used in the chrome & xpinstall.  It
doesn't change the one used by layout.

Where is the one used by layout set then?

BTW, I have updated my .spec file to use TZ="US/Pacific" for configure and make
calls, this take care of bad BuildID in RPMs and of mismatches between the
BuildID and the RPM version...
