So basically to compile with itself.

So much for portable code.

Will have a look

For protobuf-c there is something missing when the build tries to 
execute protoc. protoc is built but is missing something.

Yes, basically this should be built in either the configure code which 
then can decide to abort cleanly or like in my case I checked for the 
buildtool environment and skipped the build. Of course buildpacket will 
barf but that is the least of my concerns.
