Indeed it doesn't really matter where the build directory is. As I mentioned in a previous mail we primarily recommend against it still to avoid confusion while offering support (there used to be more crucial reasons before, but those have mostly been cleared up). The major pitfall that remains is naming your build directory "gnucash" or more in general getting confused when more than one directory is called "gnucash" at various levels in the hierarchy. If you know what you are doing by all means feel free to configure the build as you like.
