IME, having used Linux on a variety of machines including embedded 
devices as well as PCs, that is often not the case  -  if one doesn't 
specify -a one often then has to specify -j or -J or -z specifically, 
the nice thing about -a being that it works with all the most commonly 
used compression algorithms, so the same command can be used regardless 
of the compression algorithm used.

The important thing is to build in a different directory from the 
sources, either in a sub-directory, or elsewhere, the most obvious and 
therefore probably the most common other choice being a parallel 
directory, which is what I use.

Look up shell commands pushd/popd.

Yes.

No, I don't think so, see my earlier post today for what I think is 
going on.
