Comment 2 for bug 1733206

You do not seem to understand what the word "recommended" means. You act like trashing the host system is somehow a feature. That is insane. This is clearly a bug and exemplary of particularly bad design. Even if I was running in VirtualBox, I wouldn't exactly be pleased that a build script took over my whole VM. I know of no other build system that touches a damn thing outside of the current directory, there isn't a reason to outside of an 'install' target or equivalent.
