There is one more advantage to building in a different place, although it's not exploited in Sage - the build directory does not need to be backupped. E.g. my department does not want people developing in directories which are automatically backupped, as they do not want to back up all that generated stuff...
That is called an "out-of-tree build", and indeed it's supposed to work. It allows building the very same source code with different options, makes it possible to store the source in a size-constrained disk and build in a large one... An autotools-based build system would make that easier.
