confused by libbb/Makefile

  i'm a bit baffled by libbb/Makefile:

==============================
...
ifndef top_srcdir
top_srcdir=..
endif
ifndef top_builddir
top_builddir=..
endif
srcdir=$(top_srcdir)/libbb
LIBBB_DIR:=./
include $(top_builddir)/Rules.mak      <-- ???
include $(top_builddir)/.config        <-- ???
include Makefile.in
all: $(libraries-y)
-include $(top_builddir)/.depend
...
==============================

  if you're truly trying to support being able to build libbb in a
separate directory from the source, shouldn't you be including those
files from $(top_srcdir), not $(top_builddir)?  and you'd need to
include Makefile.in from the libbb source directory as well, no?
