I know that much (but thanks anyway :) The point is that my source code is
made up of multiple packages, and I'd like the build objects to live close
to the source code rather than in a separate build tree. I.e. something
like :
topdir/
src/
package1/
arch1/
arch2/
...
package2/
arch1/
arch2/
...
instead of
topdir/
arch1/
src/
package1/
package2/
arch2/
src/
package1/
package2/
I know that the latter is what the gnu tools use, but people here like it
the other way, so I'm trying to make that work.
