Jürgen, also in autotools it is possible (and recomended) to not use build in 
source.

For instance
        $ cd /src/lyx
        $ ./autogen.sh
        $ cd /build/lyx
        $ /src/lyx/cofigure ....
        $ make

Then the created lyx binary will be  "/build/lyx/src/lyx".
Checking for _any_ .lyx files in the build dir:
        $ find . -name \*.lyx
is empty.
Checking for executables:
        $ find . -type f -executable
                ./src/client/lyxclient
                ./src/lyx
                ./src/tex2lyx/tex2lyx
.               /config.status
Checking if the executable finds the correct system-dir
        $ src/lyx/lyx
                Help->About LyX
Yes, it is set.

(FWIW, just tested)

Therefore, please, distinguish between build and source dir.
