Follow-up Comment #1, bug #32876 (project gnustep):

This sounds nice to me.

Assuming that building in the source tree with GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR=build defined
already works, couldn't this be implemented by:

1. modifying configure.ac in some way so that the configure script was able to
recognised when it's been called as ../configure, and then change
GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR and its own working directory
2. passing an appropriate value of GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR to any nested
invocations
?
