This patch only ensures the build-directory is an absolute path instead
of a relative one. It does not enable to specify the build-dir as an
option to the ant-build-system. Thus it is different from using a chdir
phase.

As this patch is some years old now, I can't remember the exact case.
AFAIR the relative path did not work for some packages for some reason.

Please let me know if I should include this one, too. (No reasoning
necessary.)

(I'm just waiting for your answer to avoid rebuilding all java-packages
twice - even on staging)
