[Buildroot] [PATCH] Makefile: export BUILD_DIR

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>

$(BUILD_DIR) is a nice place to put files generated during the build.
With the advent of user-supplied step-hooks, they may want to store
some information on the build.

Export BUILD_DIR to that effect; update manual accordingly.
