Bug description:
- First, do a regular in-tree build:
cpython $ ./configure && make
- Then, try to make an out-of-tree build:
cpython $ mkdir debug
cpython $ cd debug
cpython/debug $ ../configure --with-pydebug && make
[...]
Error: The source directory (..) is not clean
Building Python out of the source tree (in /home/antocuni/pypy/misc/cpython/debug) requires a clean source tree (/home/antocuni/pypy/misc/cpython/debug/..)
Try to run: make -C ".." clean
- Now, if you try to run a top-level
make cleanas suggested, it's not enough:
cpytohn/debug $ make -C ".." clean
[...]
cpython/debug $ make

Building Python out of the source tree (in /home/antocuni/pypy/misc/cpython/debug) requires a clean source tree (/home/antocuni/pypy/misc/cpython/debug/..)
Try to run: make -C ".." clean
(I also tried to cd .. && make clean).
The problem seems to be that check-clean-src checks for the presence of the ./python binary, which is not removed by make clean:

If I remove it manually, the out-of-tree make works as expected
