It seems as if commit 3c25cb29aba4d4c1a907aa29db48c36d8dbac18e mixed
up source and build directories and hence broke out of tree building.

At least the following patch fixes it for me:

Haven't yet tested it with in-tree-building though. I'm also slightly
surprised that this only came up now. That commit is from January. So
maybe I'm still missing something else...
