[issue1011113] Make “install” find the build_base directory

Thanks for the report. distutils does not get new features anymore. This gives us time to focus on distutils2, the next generation. Thanks to the configure command (#8254), the functionality you require will be easily supported in distutils2. I’ll get back to this feature when configure is 100% finished and merged into the main repo.
