I believe we could do something simpler that consists in just a boolean variable saying that the package does not accept in-source build, like: LIBFOO_SUPPORTS_IN_SOURCE_BUILD = NO (which would default to YES) and then the CMake package infra takes care of doing the build in some $(@D)/buildroot-build/ directory, or something like that.
