Well it does know how to invoke the build commands (nothing stored means use the default) so if you are using something different to the "died of old age but hasn't stopped moving yet" make and its totally unportable friends autofake and autofools then the project file is where you store the commands.
i despise the "Auto, my ass!" Tools - haven't touched them in about 8 years, except as a user of projects which use them. i prefer plain old GNU make 3.81+.
And given that scope, it's absolute-path behaviour doesn't bother me all that much any more. But i do think the solution mentioned by Jiri and

would be "the right thing to do."
Well it would do the right thing a little more often so its worth doing.
yes, "righter thing" probably would have been a better choice of words.
