Hadrian puts its build tree in the wrong place
I have a source tree in my slow, network-mounted backed-up filestore /home/simonpj/ghc, and a separate link-tree in my fast, physically-connected, non-backed up filestore /playpen/ghc. Every file in /playpen/ghc is a symlink to the corresponding source file in /home/simonpj/ghc.
But when I do
$ cd /playpen/ghc
$ hadrian/build.sh -c -j4 --flavour=quick I find a new _build director in /home/simonpj/ghc. This is bad! It should be in /playpen/ghc. Otherwise (a) it's slower, (b) it creates backup churn and (c) as it happens, I ran out of space on the backed-up filestore.
Can this be fixed? It's a bad Hadrian shortcoming.
