Hi - thanks for the report about vala not supporting -d from years ago
(sorry). https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16341

I know it's been ages, but in case you're still around ... can you send
an example that shows the bug?  There are so many details, it's always
easier to work from an example than to try to figure out from scratch
where the problem lies. --thanks, karl.

It seems that currently vala support in autotools does not properly respect
the -d/--directory flag (which sets an output directory for all generated
files). This makes non-recursive-make a bit more tedious if you have
multiple vala components and you want to generate the output in their
respective sub directories.
