Ok.  With your patch in plus some additional work to make installs and such
work, I think I have pristine source directory compiles working now.
Unfortunately, the way this is implemented, touching source files in the
pristine directory does not cause a recompile in the (non-source dir) object
directory.  Time to re-read 
    http://www.paulandlesley.org/gmake/multi-arch.html
to see what we have done wrong.
