I haven't found that.  I build with objdir != srcdir all the time.

It sounds like the dependencies for your pass are not correct.  Where
did you put it in the LLVM tree and how did you change the Makefiles?

A non-build after reconfigure is not really a problem.  If nothing in
the configuration has changed configure is smart enough not to update
anything so make doesn't see any changes.
