That list is opt-in and mainly covers oe-core, so this gets tested
every time the YP autobuilder does a world build.  We need a meta-oe
world build where autotools.bbclass sets B="${WORKDIR}/build": it's
literally just this one-line patch.

I guess a good first step would be to make this change in oe-core and
do a world build there, adding explicit B=$S statements to any recipes
that break with B!=S.
