First, why do you want to build the module out-of-tree?

For 3rd party modules I can understand that need, OTOH, in that case your

I am working with a third party module that I am building out of tree.? I trying this across multiple platforms.? I am placing the module code in our VCS... out of tree seems to be a cleaner, simpler, les complicated? solution to me.

Without? trying to sound confrontational, why not build it out of tree?
