Hi,

The binary scripts, unlike their rpm/dpkg counterparts, configure and make in the source directory. This is inconvenient for many reasons, including the one that inspired this bug.

I was working on a solution to have it configure to another directory (perhaps export the source like the other scripts) so the source directory remains unchanged. This should cover this issue and some others.

I'll link that branch to this bug, let me know if this is an acceptable solution.

About the target directory, already the default directory is .
