Right.  As I say I don't think this is a thing that should be expected
to be work but I won't block you from working on it :-).

Making "distclean" work after the tree is moved might be easier than
making just "make" still work; the latter would involve making sure
that all the -Is etc. were relative, as those paths end up in .d
files.
