Some people use different top-level directories and tie together the 
deliverables in the build system.

For example, consider a system where there's one program and one 
library. The program developers need the library, but don't work on it.

The program developers have clients allowing them to read and write the 
program. They all use the same library client, which is on an 
NFS-mounted volume to which no NFS clients have write access. The build 
system puts all the output wherever the program is.

This may not be terribly clear to you. Sorry. Difficult to write clearly today.
