I think you just want to do a "VPATH build". One common way of doing
this is invoking your 'configure' script from a peer directory of your
top-level source tree.
$ pwd
.../project-foo
$ cd .. && mkdir project-foo-BUILD && cd project-foo-BUILD
$ pwd
.../project-foo-BUILD
$
$ ../project-foo/configure ... && make
Your object files will be beneath the
.../project-foo-BUILD
directory, and the source code in the
.../project-foo
directory will remain "pristine".
