I don't think so. There might be transient files (the write-then-rename
pattern) or the directory might be used for additional purposes. The
*build system* might be able to say "I use this for my purposes and no
one else should touch it", but I don't think the *build tool* or the
*compiler* can make such conclusions from its corner of the overall
build process.
