libgeda doesn't build to external build directory. (was Re: gEDA-user: gedagaf runs on RH8)

[ Ales here, I'm reposting this since majordomo didn't recognize the
  e-mail as being subscribed to the geda-dev/geda-user mailinglist. ]

[ Yeah, unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this problem.  The problem
  is related to noweb and the fact that the C source are build from another
  set of files.  -Ales ]

From: Mark Rages <markrages@xxxxxxxxx>

So I'm trying to get started packaging stuff in RPM format.  I notice
libgeda doesn't build properly outside the source directory
(transcript follows).  I can work around this, but it would be nice to
fix it so the CD distribution doesn't need to use as much disk space
when compiling.

Mark
