Rprofile.site and check/build (PR#2872)

How's this a bug? It only make sense to run "check" and "build" on source packages, but things like R_LIBS points to where *binary* packages are install.
R CMD check is going to run an installed version, and that may use other packages. However, these tools have always used --vanilla, and see ?Startup for why that works as stated below. So this works as intended, checking on a vanilla system. That's not a bug, and definitely not a recent change.

This is annoying when having libraries (packages) in alternative locations. Cheers, Laurent
