I am using ${project_loc}/subdir as build directory. 
Do you use the latest (stable) versions of the platform (3.2.2) and CDT 
(3.1.2)? There was a bugfix in one of the latest updates (unfortunately it 
is not mentioned in the release notes).
However, it still does not work all the time! Sometimes you have to call 
build project twice! I have already submitted a bug report #170748 and 
#163183.

The log file is in YOUR_WORKSPACE_DIR/.metadata/.log

You're welcome.
