There is a somewhat popular bioinformatics program muscle whose download
tgz is a tar bomb. The bomb moniker seems especially appropriate here,
since it made the gnu-build-system error out, and patching
gnu-build-system requires a lot of rebuilding. In the attached patches I
fixed gnu-build-system so that the "chdir" is omitted when there is no
directory to chdir into, and then added muscle itself.

I think it might be what you're looking for.
It is thanks, I'd not seen that. I wonder if an error message mentioning
that might be in order, given it is easy to test for. Anyway, I'll wait
until that change is merged.
