If you do a VPATH build, then the generated object files will already be
in a separate directory. This is often done by simply creating a
directory that is a peer of your top-level project directory and
invoking 'configure' from there:
$ ls -F
my-project/
$ mkdir my-project-BUILD && cd my-project-BUILD
$ ../my-project/configure
$ make
Automake distinguishes between the source directory and the build
directory. However, if you configure and build from within the source
directory, then the source directory and the build directory are the
same, and your generated artifacts end up in the same directories as
their template or input artifacts.
