gcc has historically had bugs building in place.  Partly that's
because gcc has to do weird things no other package does.

I've gotten into the habit of doing it because I can delete the build
tree with a simple `rm -rf'.  Also, I have a script I use to automate
most builds, and it works this way, so I notice when it stops working.
