            Bug ID: 25171
           Summary: build failure after 'git clone' and after 'make
                    distclean'
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.34 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tim.ruehsen at gmx dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

after cloning the repo or after 'make distclean', a './configure && make' stops
with:

+++
configure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean"
there first
configure: error: .././../../gnulib/configure failed for build-gnulib-gdbserver
configure: error: ./configure failed for gdbserver
make[1]: *** [Makefile:10828: configure-gdb] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/oms/src/binutils-gdb'
make: *** [Makefile:852: all] Error 2
+++

A second 'make' then continues and succeeds.

IMO, it should either be fixed or documented in README.

'make' is aliased to 'make -j12'.

OS is Debian unstable (upgrade from 07-11-2019)
make           4.2.1-1.2
automake                    1:1.16.1-4
autoconf                    2.69-11
bash            5.0-4
