If I run cabal build --help then the wrong default is listed for build-dir.

 --builddir=DIR                 The directory where Cabal puts generated build
                                files (default dist)

I think this is because the builddir command is one inherited from the Setup.hs interface, where the default is dist. The default when using cabal-install is dist-newstyle.

This is a dupe of #7924 and implemented (but without enough reviews) in #8833. Closing.
