           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW

  Target Milestone: ---

Building minicom package fails when the output directory path contains the
string "m4".

e.g.

make O=output-m4 qemu_x86_64_defconfig
make minicom

The build output looks like:

>>> minicom a6a507dcb8bd4cb5da7af9e2dc75b8e495fedbb6 Configuring
>>> minicom a6a507dcb8bd4cb5da7af9e2dc75b8e495fedbb6 Autoreconfiguring

I also observed that a directory is created where the "m4" part of the path is
replaced by the next part of the host directory. This directory contains links
to m4 files. In this example:

output-host/
output-host/share
output-host/share/aclocal
output-host/share/aclocal/codeset.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/wchar_t.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/fcntl-o.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/size_max.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/lib-link.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/progtest.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/intdiv0.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/iconv.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/uintmax_t.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/xsize.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/inttypes-pri.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/intldir.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/lock.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/longlong.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/nls.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/glibc21.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/lib-prefix.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/visibility.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/lib-ld.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/configheader.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/wint_t.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/printf-posix.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/intlmacosx.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/threadlib.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/stdint_h.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/lcmessage.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/intmax.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/po.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/ansi-c++.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/intl.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/glibc2.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/inttypes_h.m4
output-host/share/aclocal/gettext.m4


The same can be reproduced by:
utils/test-pkg -d ~/pkg-test-m4 -p minicom
