Ciao Federico

usually, shadow builds are the recommended way to compile sources, so I 
didn't mention it in the documentation, but you're right about it :) 
please file a ticket at

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=src-highlite

in particular, if you've already built it in the same directory, and you 
want to provider an improved .gitignore, please do so.

cheers
