Well, I can find it, under the hood. The value I have, "$HOME/Documents/Programming/Builds", is in the preferences file,
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
for the key path IDEApplicationwideBuildSettings ▸ SYMROOT
I think that this default "Build Products Path" was an editable preference in Xcode 3, and that the Xcode team forgot to, or did not want to provide a user interface for it in Xcode 4. In other words, it has become one of those "hidden preferences", only accessible by the 'defaults' command-line program. Also, the Xcode team did not want to ignore users' prior values when upgrading from Xcode 3. They thought we'd be smart enough to figure it out.
Perhaps so. The setting under "OS X Default" in my projects just says "build".
Do you have a spare copy of Xcode 3 you can fire up? Otherwise, you might just need to delete the preference. (But of course I have no idea of the side effects of arbitrarily deleting preferences like that.)
