Old Xcode default "Build" Directory & Time Machine

I remember that, in Xcode 3, Preferences had a setting for your default “Build Directory”.  I still use that directory for archiving non-Mac-App-Store builds with my own script, but Time Machine is not backing it up.

I also remember that Time Machine had a “feature” of *not* backing up certain directories related to Xcode, so I’m thinking that’s the cause of this problem.

My Xcode Preferences contain the following…
    IDEApplicationwideBuildSettings
        SYMROOT=$HOME/Documents/Programming/Builds

And indeed that SYMROOT path is the one that I’m having trouble with.

I presume that Xcode 5 would ignore this preference, and that I could solve my problem by deleting it.  However, I'm worried about breaking something in the Xcode build system that I don’t understand.  Any advice would be appreciated.
