The build.sh was removed from OFED 1.3 and it is explianed in the RN:
    2.2 Package and install
        o There is a new install script. See OFED_Installation_Guide.txt for
          more details on the new installation and build procedures.
        o User space packages are now in different source RPMs (as 
opposed to
          one source RPM in previous OFED releases).
        o The option for a build without installing is not supported any 
more.
        o Added the script make-dist to generate tarball with kernel sources
          for each kernel.
