You don't need that, the build-dir is structured so that you
don't have to.  You can use a single build-dir for all the builds.

$ cat foo.tex
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}
$ texi2dvi -q --build-dir=build.t2d foo.tex --pdf -o foo.pdf
$ texi2dvi -q --build-dir=build.t2d foo.tex --dvi -o foo.dvi
$ texi2dvi -q --build-dir=build.t2d foo.tex --ps -o foo.ps
