Some people make changes to Makefiles and then test their changes without an object directory, these may then break the build for those who use it. This has happened several times already. Hopefully we can avoid those breakages with this change.It happens very rarely, and the last time it was because the wrong patch was committed IIUC. It may be unified but it's pretty much unlike every other build system I've ever seen.
It's not that atypical.Keep in mind, we already create per-target build directories and use them. Building the rest of the objects in a different directory isn't really all that bizarre.
