Hello Denys,
Thanks for that reply.

My whole build dir got symlinked into the home dir due to disk space issues.
But there are no symlinks in the temp dir area as far as i can say.
A somewhat strange behavior. I never noticed tools stumbling across such.


My not that deeply tested, first shot, cheap cheat is that:

do_compile_prepend() {
        cd ${S}
        if [ -L GNUmakefile ]
        then
                rm -f GNUmakefile
                ln -s Makefile GNUmakefile
        fi
}

i've added that to the non-native recipes of the coreutils, m4 and autoconf.
lets see how far that will work for me in my setup.
the build has already flawlessly proceeded to task 181 containing the binutils-cross compilation...

regards, Alex.

PS:
later on i found those discussion mentioning three recipe names from above:
