There are several errors I was getting actually. The first one is something like this:
> | configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./../config.sub
The problem is that yocto/oe build system has distinct stages like fetch/configure/compile/install/etc, and this error occurs during the configure stage when it tries to run automake/autoconf.
When I prepend configure stage with copying of include/install-sh, it passes further, but fails at install stage with the errors like:
Usage: build/tmp/work/corei7-64-oe-linux/xfstests/git-r0/git/x86_64-oe-linux-libtool [OPTION]... [MODE-ARG]...
Try 'x86_64-oe-linux-libtool --help' for more information.
x86_64-oe-linux-libtool: error: 'build/tmp/work/corei7-64-oe-linux/xfstests/git-r0/image/usr/xfstests/src' is not a directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:102: install] Error 1
So I honestly didn't look into what's failing there. Using up-to-date scripts just fixed the issue for me. I could keep the patch in my yocto BSP then if you don't like it.
Thanks,
Vyacheslav
