Almost.  By default the library is placed in the same directory as the
object files.  The source tree and (any number of) build trees can be
separate, see this part of the introductory chapter of the manual:

I'm not sure why you want this; could you explain?.  Maybe VPATH builds
as above can help you achieve your goal slightly differently.
