I use builddir/ (and upstream usually recommends that these days since 
it's less likely to confuse "meson builddir" as a subcommand, compared 
to "meson build").

This is kind of the problem with trying to ignore a directory that isn't 
canonical.

Instead, I'd prefer to argue upstream in favor of 
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/6509
