Let me remind you that this thread started with me noticing an 
inconsistency in how we build things when explicitly building with 
--with-builtin-tommath compared to the - in my opinion - more sane 
behaviour of --with-builtin-tomcrypt (putting things in 
gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib/.tm vs in 
gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib).

I was not asking about always using our own libraries, but at least 
doing things in a sane way when a build is performed explicitly 
requesting to use our own version of libraries.
