<p>All the output files will be located under

output directory. This means that you can safely run multiple
builds in parallel using the same source tree as long as they use
unique output directories.</p>

output directory - So after the first run, you no longer need to
pass <code>O=..</code> and <code>-C ..</code>, simply run (in the
output directory):</p>
