[bug#55248] [PATCH v2 2/9] gnu: racket: Fix out-of-source build.

Hi Philip,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you didn't quite get the point I
raised w.r.t. install-license-files.  Instead of

you could 

(replace 'install-license-files
  (lambda args
    (with-directory-excursion ".." ; perhaps "../src" if needed
      (apply (assoc-ref %standard-phases 'install-license-files)
             args))))

If that doesn't work, you could fake an "in-source" build by appending
"#:out-of-source? #f" to args.

Cheers
