Yes, they will.

Out of tree builds are the best.  If you do a 'make distcheck' before
releasing then you'll be exercising them. The basic approach is:

$ cd libburn
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure

You'll see that you get "disabled strict symbol encapsulation (test
failed)" in an out-of-tree build.  Looking at config.log:

.../ld: cannot open linker script file libisoburn/libisoburn.ver: No
such file or directory

Because the test is being ran from build/ instead of libburn. Thus,
you need to add $srcdir to the linker script path.  Don't add
something like ../ because the build directory could be anywhere, it
doesn't have to be a subdirectory of the source directory.
