A little more details would be helpful, like what git commit of master, which version of autoconf, arch building?  As you know we build world frequently on the Autobuilder and kconfig-frontends built over the weekend on the autobuilder.

It was the HEAD of December 16; and the weird thing is that Martin had the same issue and a cleansstate fixed the issue for both of us.

Maybe a reentrance issue?

I tried to run it twice via the bitbake -f -c configure and could not reproduce this issue, I am going to close this for now, if you can give me a reproducer then please reopen this bug.
