From https://codereview.chromium.org/83673002/#msg9:

If one does something like
  ./build/gyp_chromium
  mv out another_out
  ninja -C another_out/Release chrome

The build errors out like this:
  '../../out/gypfiles/third_party/WebKit/Source/bindings/main_idl_files_list.tmp',
  needed by 'gen/blink/BindingsDerivedSources.txt', missing and no known
  rule to make it

I looked at this. The problem is that actions run in the folder where the gyp 
file defining it lives, but gypfiles is in the build directory. So that's why 
the path is in there. I guess we could do something like:

  GYPFILE=$pwd/gypfiles/path/to.gypcmd; cd ../../actiondir; use $GYPFILE
