The core code certainly builds okay in VPATH mode, and I would agree
with Dimitri that pgxs builds should as well. But this is more of an
autoconf+make feature than ours, so I'm not sure why you'd expect us
to document it.
Having said that, if a particular extension's makefile contains features
that cause it to not build VPATH, then presumably that extension's
author doesn't care.
