Why are you using
cdat all? You usemkdir -pbefore creating temporary files, and never randomlycd.Anyway, this thread isn't really getting anywhere.
Somehow, most buildsystems for complex packages run make with changing working directories. Even in single script using subshells, it is trivial to save some effort with changing directories without complicating the code.
It is a deployment helper, not a single-package build system, so it has to do some work with numerous checkouts of dependencies. It is more natural to write some parts of code to run inside working directories of individual packages.
