Improved build.sh taking as a base the work of margueritev on the opensuse package build.

LZMA will always static link even if the linux distro doesn't ships a static build.
OPENSSL will always static link even if the linux distro doesn't ships a static build.
Root priviliges are not needeed anymore to build.
Changed build-appdirs.sh to not depend on a specific libarchive version.
Redirect errors of find command in build-appdirs.sh to stop script execution due to permission denied messages.
