I'd be in favour of that. A huge amount of the pain I felt when
making previous changes to QEMU's makefiles has been caused by
trying to support both in-srcdir & vpath build with the same
set of rules. Fixing one often breaks the other, so you have
to cycle back & forth doing a fix in one, then testing the
other, repeat, repeat, scream, repeat.
Personally I always do in-srcdir builds, but I'd be fine to
switch to vpath builds to reduce our maint burden in the build
system as it would be a net win overall.
Regards,
Daniel
