[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] Bug#535699: nipy: FTBFS: Tries to write to $HOME during build

[peter green]

I tested this issue in my sid amd64 chroot as user nobody with a 
nonexistant homedir.

The homedir issue was easy enough to fix but then the build failed with 
what appeared to be problems caused by lack of a fortran compiler so I 
added gfortran to the build-dependencies and installed it.

however I then got a load of undefined reference errors (the last couple 
of which are copied below) and a failure to link

/nobody/nipy-0.1.2+1741/libfffpy/wrapper/fffpy.c:13: undefined reference

I have attatched a patch with the changes I have made but have no idea 
how to troubleshoot this link error.
