This looks like a race but I've been unable to reproduce it locally.

Comment 1 Ross Burton 2016-04-12 14:52:49 UTC

For some reason the rsync Makefiles have decided that they want to rebuild their configure/Makefile, and their hand-coded rebuild logic is broken.

I know, I was surprised too.

As this logic is redundant we can just delete it.

Fixed in oe-core ccc61cee8f097862640722abb9a9f53781efdac3 (hopefully).
