[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] build: don't create temporary files in source dir

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

There are cases where users do VPATH builds with the source directory being on
a read-only volume. In such a case they have to manually run the command
'git-submodule.sh ...modules...'  manually ahead of time. When checking for
status we should not then write into the source dir.
