The reason is cmake.

cmake expects targets (libraries, binaries) of a dependency to be in
the same location. So if we provide the libraries in ${BUILDLINK_DIR}
and the cmake support files also include the targets for binaries
(next to the ones for the libraries), these need to be in
${BUILDLINK_DIR}, otherwise cmake won't accept the dependency as being
available.
