Makefile: Avoid changing LIBDIR based on whether it already exists

unix-Makefile.tmpl checks if the target LIBDIR exists on the build
machine or not and based on the result modify the final LIBDIR.
This should be avoided, build results should not depend on the build
machine root filesystem layout. It makes the build results unstable.

The fix simply removes the dir existence test from the unix-Makefile.tmpl.
