Hi Nathan,
When building the library with srcdir != builddir, the only thing
we do in ${srcdir} is invoking autools to generate the files they need
for creating Makefile.in and such. That is all. In particular, make
won't delete files it wants to.
That said, I trust you that when you initially wrote the general
guidelines, you encountered some problems: I would like you give me a
workable algorithm to reproduce those problems. I think that may
shade lights on the issue.
