Description Mark Hatle 2012-05-22 21:02:36 UTC 
Occasionally when doing incremental build work, I will get a failure message during to do_configure step when using autotool.bbclass in the recipe.

The failure message indicates a failure to copy an .m4 file from the sysroot.

What I believe is happening is during the copy of the .m4 files from the sysroot to wherever they will be used by the autoconf program, the sysroot is being updated by another parallel task.  This update is either removing and adding/modifying new files which causes the problem.
