have to create the directories out-of-tree
but directories cannot be properr make dependencies
because make works with file mtime
..and directory mtime changes whenever something
happens in the directory, triggering a rebuild
all the time

i think so, official configure help is:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=blob;f=lib/autoconf/general.m4;h=a7f143960de44182a0139f9ab302fd652aaebc32;hb=HEAD#l1033

srcdir is whatever the user used for configure,
the abs path is only used to make sure we are
out-of-tree.
so building with ../musl/configure the srcdir is
../musl, i guess it ends up in the debug info,
to avoid that more complex setup is necessary
i think
