Or build in a separate object directory, using the O=$my_objdir
Kbuild option. That has a number of addition advantages, e.g.
you can easily clean your object files using 'rm -rf $my_objdir'
and if you grep -r the source, you don't find your search string
in generated files.
Or just "cp -al" to create multiple trees at (almost) no disk cost
that won't interfere with each other in any way, and makes the
development process / generating patchsets trifle easier as well ...
Or best of all, just start using git if you can ...
... ok, back to work now.
