It is not being deliberately broken.  However, since just
about every GCC developer always builds outside the tree,
breakage of in-tree builds can be easily overlooked.

This, together with some technical points why in-tree
build support provides additional difficulties, triggered
the discussion whether or not to continue officially
supporting in-tree builds.

However, there was no consensus on prohibiting in-tree
builds, so they continue to be supported at this point.

In fact, there aren't any known problems with in-tree
builds right now (AFAIK); I was just suggesting to prefer
out-of-tree builds if you have the choice, given the
circumstances ...
