See my mail from 17th Feb Cc'd to openbsc@, where I ask autoconf about the
weird dirs showing up when subdir-objects is used, answered by Eric Blake of
RedHat:

This is a known automake bug, not caused by autoconf; that may explain
why you haven't seen much response on the autoconf list, but I don't
know if there are any active maintainers on the automake list that have
suggestions on how to work around it, or on when a fixed automake will
be available (or if it is already available). A quick search found
this, though:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2015-12/msg00001.html

Here is the openbsc@ thread:

So besides creating those weird directories, subdir-objects works AFAIK. We are
currently using subdir-objects in osmo-iuh, libosmo-abis, libosmo-netif and
last but not least libosmocore. (at least on 3G branches)

This helps to increase compatibility with newer
automake.
I tried several times to add subdir-objects, but we always had to revert
these kind of changes, as they broke something. Don't recall what
exactly, but I think it was related to either out-of-source builds
and/or autotest? Holger?
