This allows to chdir into some sub-project prior to building.

* guix/build/ant-build-system.scm (default-build.xml): Add parameter.
  (configure): Pass current directory as base-dir to default-build.xml.

I don't understand the point of that patch. I can already add a chdir phase just after unpack to do just that. What does this patch give us?

The other two patches lgtm, but I think they need to go to staging instead of master, because they will cause a rebuild of every java package.

This patch only ensures the build-directory is an absolute path instead
of a relative one. It does not enable to specify the build-dir as an
option to the ant-build-system. Thus it is different from using a chdir
phase.

As this patch is some years old now, I can't remember the exact case.
AFAIR the relative path did not work for some packages for some reason.

Please let me know if I should include this one, too. (No reasoning
necessary.)

(I'm just waiting for your answer to avoid rebuilding all java-packages
twice - even on staging)

I'm fine with this patch, but I still don't see the point.

So I'll leave it out - it can still be fixed if it actually occurs in a
current package.
