I am currently building outside the source tree so that I don't have
these problems. It works fine, except that some files are created in
the source tree anyway. I think it's mostly output from bison and flex:
src/backend/parser/gram.c
src/backend/parser/scan.c
src/backend/bootstrap/bootparse.c
src/backend/bootstrap/bootscanner.c
src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/pgc.c
src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.c
(maybe I'm missing some files)
Maybe they are there because they are part of the source tarball? It
annoys me a little because I do "diff -cr" between different source
directories and those files have lots of differences.
Also, the regression tests can be run fine with "make installcheck", but
if I want to run the parallel schedule, I have to point pg_regress to
the source dir. Maybe the file could be copied to the build dir ...
