Are you suggesting bandaging this individual leaf directory, as in
choice 1), because it's no worse than what happens for an out-of-tree
build anyway, or are you suggesting to fix the in-tree build behavior to
be as inefficient as the out-of-tree behavior in general?  It appears
to me that options 2) and 3) are the intended solutions for this issue
while 1) is more of a workaround.  Thanks,
