Description

"IMPALA-4259: build Impala without any test cluster setup." removed a "cd ${ROOT}" statement that meant that the tests were executed with IMPALA_HOME as the working directory.

This meant that core dumps, etc, ended up in IMPALA_HOME. Now that the statement is removed, if buildall.sh is run some from somewhere else, the core dumps end up in the wrong place.
