It's defind in "lib/bb/parse/parse_py/ConfHandler.py:36". When TOPDIR is
not defined in any of the bitbake configuration files, it's set to
current working directory automatically.
(...)
def init(data):
topdir = data.getVar('TOPDIR')
if not topdir:
data.setVar('TOPDIR', os.getcwd())

You may want to read the newly-written documentation about bitbake and
open embedded. I tried to explain how things fit together. I would like
to have your feedback.
