not supported (yet)

it probably wouldn't be hard to add though

(eg the paths in the makefile can be prefixed with the build path
and the generated config.mak can set that prefix up, but i'm not
sure what's the best way to detect the path and there might be
issues around the generated alltypes.h and include/bits)
