 Here are my attempts (using self-compiled 6.4svn debian package after
 having moved the original build tree to simulate use on a different
 machine):

 i.e.: it obviously cannot find the headers since it is looking for them in
 the original build directory.

 If I go into /usr/lib/grass/include/Make/Platform.make and set GRASS_HOME
 to /usr/lib/grass, I get:


 {{{

 i486-pc-linux-gnu/bin/r.terracost'

 }}}

 And even if I use the original grass-dev with GRASS_HOME pointing to the
 local build directory and keep this directory accessible, I get:


 {{{

 If I create the .grass/addons/bin directory by hand, I get:

 I'll stop here before this becomes more of a bug report on g.extension
 than on the current issue, but it would be nice to get to a situation
 where by installing the grass binaries and libs and the grass headers, it
 is possible to compile extensions without needing the source tree.
