For the specific case of using GNU make, I work around this problem using M-x compile make -C /full/path/to/build ... This causes make to emit the info that Emacs needs to find the real build directory. Luckily for me I'm basically only using GNU make for builds, so I haven't had to find tricks for other systems. Tom
