Not I.  That's the *standard* build environment in almost
all software projects!  The first one taught to apprentice
programmers.  Doing anything else is unusual ... and is
something which often is not supported.

Or we could forbid "build_dir != src_dir" if the number
of test cases is too many ...

You mean build/src/helper or source/src/helper??

Getting rid of "src" as a directory name would at least help
get rid of that confusion.  (As if "tcl" isn't a kind of source
code, and "doc" isn't source to the docs ...)
