that doesn't work.
make -C foo bla
just does
(cd foo && make bla)
If you did this, part of the object files would end up in the source dir;
The idea of separate srcdir builds,is to keep the srcdir completely clean
of generated files. That can't really be done without aid of a script,
to setup the builddir. In this case that is the configure script.
I did forget to add a check
if "$srcdir" != "." ; then
..
