I think the use of GNU make VPATH is fairly common. For example, I believe the autotools build a tree that matches the srcdir structure and add Makefiles that contain something like this: VPATH = ../../wherever/notmuch/thisdir ... Of course, given that, the build tree doesn't include any source files.
