I should add that in my original log output i was in
/home/mdroth/qemu-build2, accidentially did the build in
/home/mdroth/w/qemu-build2 this time around, which is a symlink to
/home/mdroth/dev/kvm/qemu-build2

I started suspecting maybe the symlinks were causing issues
with the recipe matching, and just now redid the build in
/home/mdroth/qemu-build2, but problem still remained.
