FYIW, the OS X installer build script (Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py for 
years has, and continues to, depend on building outside of the source 
directory.  When I build one, I always start with a clean source directory.  
There are so many opportunities for the configure and make stages to go wrong 
that it seems not worth the effort to try to plug all of the holes of the type 
you have identified here when attempting to build with a "dirty" source 
directory.  I wouldn't trust using one.
