The python and java bindings compile fine with 'builddir == srcdir'. I don't 
know if it's possible to add a check for that in the configuration and 
disable only if 'builddir != srcdir'. 

But not bothering with two large bindings projects in return for the 
convenience of 'builddir != srcdir', seems like throwing the baby out with 
the bathwater to me.
