Ah, I didn't realize that was a common method for auto tools based
build systems. I will start using that method.

Could configure modify trunk/Jamrules's HAIKU_OUTPUT_DIR, so as to
point to the correct location?
If so, then the user would just need to re-run configure when
switching target or gcc versions, right?
If not, could you give me a rough idea of an acceptable solution that
can be integrated in the build system? I'm more than willing to put
the time and effort into doing the changes.
Thank you,
