This means that we won't be able to run "./src/libvirtd" directly from the build dir - we'll *always* have to use "./run ./src/libvirtd" to get the env var set IIUC. Instead of checking the binary name, can we check for existance of a known valid build file in the directory we're running the binary from. eg look for "Makefile" or "ninja.build" or something like that.
