When building, $HOME is set to a non-existing dir. Previously it was always set to `/homeless-shelter`. After a build, the builder verifies that it doesn't exist. In some scenarios (specifically when using the linux sandbox with a single-user installation), it is possible to create the `/homeless-shelter` directory, and some tools will create it, resulting in a build error.
