How to ask the build system for that? Furthermore, if Emacs was built in some random (usually temporary) build directory, then: when issuing Emacs documentation on some function which is defined in C code and clicking the `C source code' link, Emacs would open the corresponding C source file which is located in this random build directory. This is definitely not something one would expect, especially in the case when Emacs was built on a developer machine and distributed to other users in a prebuilt form. How to tell Emacs to recognize that the C sources are in say the "src" directory which would be on the same level as the "bin" directory and company (preferably in the relative form). Thank you.
