Er, yes. And what's your point?
There is _no_ magic that will find the kernel you want to build against today without any input from you. Using the build tree for the currently-running kernel, if installed in the standard place, is as good a default as any. Of course you should be permitted to override that default.
You remain free to put your build trees wherever you want -- with the obvious proviso that if you put them somewhere other than the standard place, you need to tell the out-of-tree build process where to find the tree you want to build against. This seems to be entirely irrelevant to the original question.
