9.4.1 Built sources example

Suppose that ‘foo.c’ includes ‘bindir.h’, which is installation-dependent and not distributed: it needs to be built. Here ‘bindir.h’ defines the preprocessor macro bindir to the value of the make variable bindir (inherited from ‘configure’).

We suggest several implementations below. It's not meant to be an exhaustive listing of all ways to handle built sources, but it will give you a few ideas if you encounter this issue.
