I just fixed something in configure here but obviously there are still
problems if you try to build in the same directory as the sources. I
hadn't checked that.
This seems to work around the problem (in the newlib directory):
../configure -v --build=i386-pc-cygwin32 --srcdir=`pwd`
Another "solution" would be to do your builds in a separate directory
from your sources. Apparently configure is confused when it sees that
srcdir == '.'.
I'll try to have this fixed in time for the real B20 release. I'm glad
you caught this because this will also affect our customers.
