(15:21:29) Shoragan: hmm, libtool-native-1.5.10-r4 keeps failing while
compiling :(
(15:22:02) zecke: Shoragan: what is the error?
(15:22:16) Shoragan: it tries to configure it again, and then complains that it
is already configured
(15:23:36) hrw: Shoragan: you have symlinks in path
(15:24:09) schurig: hrw: maybe bitbake should detect if anything in the path is
a symlink and refuse to work if that is true
(15:24:37) hrw: schurig: would be nice

Since it reduces possible errors and eliminates wasted time for everybody it
would be nice if this could be implemented.
