The problem with this, so that it's now turned around:
1. Select (or create) a build directory. It is better to run the
build in a different directory rather than use this directory.
This reads like a specific instruction to create a build directory.
It's an option that is very useful for people who will hold the
directory for a long time, but these people are still a minority.
Most people will compile from source once, or will compile from source
once after every release.
