I don't see that as a problem. It's done in synaptics as well. Maybe
there is a confusion in terms, I was on the lookout  for per-target
cflags where the same code is built twice in the same directory and has
a prefix for the object code.

Unfortunate, but I can't reproduce the problem David is having. In any
case the module really needs AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR. Make distcheck may get
confused as it does not know where the src is. Building from an
out-of-source tree makes it easier to debug than building with distcheck.
