Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against your approach. And the automake
maintainers are certainly not purposely trying to make things more

Sergey,
I'm curious as to why it's important to you that build products not land in
the source tree, especially in light of the fact that you're clearly aware
of automake's support for out-of-tree builds. Out-of-tree builds exist to
solve the very problem you're trying so hard to fix.
Be aware th
Hi,
OK, never mind, problem solved. It seems that $(top_srcdir) simply did not
expand anymore in _SOURCES. Keeping my structure with the build/Makefile.am
but replacing $(top_srcdir) with '..' did the trick, it works
like a charm now, including in and out of tree builds.
No more warnings, no more
Hi,
