Description Hongxu Jia 2013-08-30 06:47:04 UTC 
branch master b467b99a5d25efe5eadfb07dbecba608575256ac

Reproduce:
1. bitbake binutils-cross
2. rm -rf tmp
3. bitbake binutils-cross -ccleansstate
4. bitbake binutils-cross failed at do_configure task

tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/binutils-cross/2.23.2-r4/temp/run.do_configure.3170: line 115: gnu-configize: command not found
ERROR: Failed to run gnu-configize

gnu-configize belongs to gnu-config-native, and gnu-config-native will be
added to DEPENDS while inherit autotools if INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS is not
true. In binutils-cross.inc, INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS is incorrectly assigned
with true.

And explicitly add gnu-config-native to DEPENDS is not ok, the do_configure
shows it needs autoconf-native.

Don't assign INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS in binutils-cross could fix this issue.

I was not able to reproduce this issue at all after a number of attempts, please let me know if you can with master and if those steps change, maybe more details about your Host OS.

branch master 4ed03e50b60b31d9ab8bb51017816bf8cfff9117

On Ubuntu 13.04, I could reproduce it:

1. Create a new build
   modify local.conf:
   BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "10"
   PARALLEL_MAKE ?= "-j 10"

2. bitbake binutils-cross

3. remove TMPDIR where to place the build output (keep SSTATE_DIR)

4. bitbake binutils-cross -ccleansstate

5. bitbake binutils-cross
   It failed at do_configure task

Yes, the test is ok.
