Hi Scott:

My opinion is two build areas is actually the way to go.  Also, have
you considered using ccache?  With that software (see
<http://ccache.samba.org/>, rebuild costs tend to be negligible so
that two build areas which build largely the same code will not cost
that much more to build than one build area.
