Having different output directories increases variation in the build.

This commit also changes the directory name of the single output directory to
"output-1", as having varied length names for output directories introduces a
lot of reproducibility issues.

Official Debian efforts also currently use same length names for different
directories: "/build/1st/$pkg-$ver" and "/build/$pkg-$ver/2nd"
Cfr: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_variations.html

Reproducible-Builds has proposed a spec called BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP to help
with this. However, that is still in the works and not fully solved yet.
(As told on the #reproducible-builds IRC).

So I think until further work is done on BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP, we will have
to stay with output directories of same length.

See: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/GCC-build-path and
https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/build-path-prefix-map/
