autotools-brokensep.bbclass not working

(Using daisy/1.6.1)

I need to build an older version of dhcp because of some
custom functionality that was patched into the client.

That version of dhcp does not support ${B} !=  ${S}. So I
changed the recipe to inherit autotools-brokensep instead
of inheriting autotools.

But this has no effect. bitbake still tries to build in
${WORKDIR}/build instead of ${S}

bitbake -e shows:

# $B [6 operations]
#   set /home/platform/Workspace/dvf99_gitlab/poky/meta/conf/bitbake.conf:348
#     "${S}"
#   set /home/platform/Workspace/dvf99_gitlab/poky/meta/conf/documentation.conf:77
#     [doc] "The Build Directory. The OpenEmbedded build system places generated objects into the Build Directory during a recipe's build process."
#   set /home/platform/Workspace/dvf99_gitlab/poky/meta/classes/autotools-brokensep.bbclass:5
#     "${S}"
#   finalize ast.py:323 [finalize]
#     "was: ${S}"
#   override[pn-dhcp]:set /home/platform/Workspace/dvf99_gitlab/poky/meta/conf/distro/include/seperatebuilddir.inc:105
#     "${SEPB}"
#   finalize override[pn-dhcp]:
#     "${SEPB}"
# computed:
#   "${SEPB}"

so seperatebuilddir.inc is overriding the use of autotools-brokensep.

How can I override the override? What's the point of autotools-brokensep?

The brokensep class was in its initial stages of development in 1.6 so
there are two mechanisms in action and dhcp is being controlled by
that .inc file which no longer exists in 1.7.

You can probably override it by Setting SEPB = "${S}" in the recipe (or
SEPB_pn-dhcp = "${S}" in local.conf). 

Cheers,

Richard

Thanks, setting SEPB in the recipe did the trick.
