In short, when you call ./configure and make from a different
directory than the source's toplevel.
Actually, the official term seems to be "Parallel Build Tree"

Anyway, I don't really understand how the @include texi path works, I
guess the makefile sets it up so that just the basename is enough.
Perhaps there is something similar that could be done via
.dir-locals.el for M-x makeinfo-buffer?
