how on earth did Xcode 7 know that this particular old project that I inherited wanted to build inside inside the source tree, given that I have never configured Xcode 7 to use legacy build locations

There is (I had forgotten about it) a whole “Build Locations” section in the actual project settings, which defaults to setting things relative to the project-um-workspace setup for the build location, but can (IIRC) also be set to absolute paths, or paths relative to something else.

I guess Xcode does something rational with the build settings when you open an old project. It’s a little mysterious, because until fairly recently the Xcode project was always in a 3.2-or-earlier-compatible format, which meant that whatever you put in the project-um-workspace setup would somehow be respected by Xcode 3(!). But I can’t pretend to want to know exactly how it works, or worked.
