I merged this but have CCed Michael Roth to take a look.  qemu.git
contains an earlier commit to explicitly add $(BUILD_DIR):

commit 9b129408589b2ed7bb2cdea03d2aba46a5fd74d4
Author: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Tue Nov 29 16:47:49 2011 -0600

    Makefile: use full path for qapi-generated directory
    
    Generally $(BUILD_DIR) == $(CURDIR), but that isn't necessarilly the
    case, so use $(BUILD_DIR)/qapi-generated for generated files to
    avoid potentionally sticking generating files in odd places outside
    the build's include paths.

Does this rationale still apply?  Is it really a good ideal to remove
$(BUILD_DIR)?
