There has been some discussion about moving to cmake, which should enable building in a separate directory. ( https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/1832, https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/9422).
There are some concerns raised by people who cross-compile (supposedly cmake doesn't have good support for this), and creating cmake files for something as complex as Julia isn't trivial. But other complex projects have done so reasonably successfully (OpenCV comes to mind), so it should be possible.
