If the package uses autoconf, and does a good job of it, you can do this by
running configure from a directory other than the top of the source tree.
For example:
build:
mkdir build1 build2
(cd build1 && ../configure && make)
(cd build2 && ../configure --enable-foo && make)
clean:
rm -rf build1 build2
This method may not work if the maintainer has not taken care to support
VPATH builds. If this is the case, you should make the necessary
modifications and submit patches upstream. See the autoconf documentation
for more information.
