[PATCH 0/1] autotools.bbclass: using relative paths for acpaths

[wenzong.fan]

From: Wenzong Fan <wenzong.fan@windriver.com>

Fix autotools.bbclass to use relative paths for acpaths instead of
absolute ones. Since absolute paths may cause potential autoreconf
error like:

    Can't exec "/bin/sh": Argument list too long ...

This error occurs while building coreutils with long TMPDIR, because
it has bunch of m4 files need to be expanded.

[YOCTO #2766]

We applied this but it nearly instantly caused build failure reports.
Anything with multiple configure.ac files where sub configures are used
such as bdwgc-native will fail after this.

I've therefore reverted it and we need to find another way.

Cheers,

Sorry, I didn't figure this out while building a sato image. If we can't 
make everything happy, could we get back the original ways which only 
fix it for coreutils?

With the limit to length of TMPDIR, this issue should rarely occurs.

Thanks
