IMHO we shouldn't support this (i.e. moving the sage install around). Just fail with an error message that you moved the sage install tree, you need to rebuild (make distclean && make) before continuing. It doesn't have anything to do with Sage really, usually if you compile something and then move the object directory around then it won't work because of rpaths in shared libraries.
We can still support binary distributions. Making the binary distribution involves rewriting all paths to be relative. For "make bdist" we can then require the presence of additional tools to rewrite rpaths.
