This feature was dropped when we switched to Kbuild because many of lines in makefiles were copied from Linux Kernel. (In Linux Kernel, we have to create a build directory by ourselves before starting build.) That feature seems worth reviving for less typing even if our code and Linux Kernel diverge.
