First, why do you want to build the module out-of-tree?
For 3rd party modules I can understand that need, OTOH, in that case your
question wouldn't have existed.
I am working with a third party module that I am building out of tree. I trying this across multiple platforms. I am placing the module code in our VCS... out of tree seems to be a cleaner, simpler, les complicated solution to me.
Without trying to sound confrontational, why not build it out of tree?
