*DESCRIPTION:*
On commit _cb74bd9fa865d2f_, on a completely fresh download, i.e. after


git clone https://git.maneage.org/project.git
mv -iv project maneage_project
cd maneage_project
time (./project configure) |tee tmp.configure.rza20200426.log 2>&1


I got the error messages in the terminal

sed -e
'1s|#!.*/sh|#!/tmp/tmp_build_maneage_project/software/installed/bin/bash|' \
     -e
's|@@BUILD_DIR@@|/tmp/tmp_build_maneage_project/software/build-tmp/git-2.23.0|'
\
     -e 's|@@PROG@@|t/helper/test-tool|' < wrap-for-bin.sh >

chmod +x bin-wrappers/test-tool
make[1]: Leaving directory '/dev/shm/tmp-maneage_project-boud/git-2.23.0'

and in my log file, with line numbers, I have

In basic.mk I see

   956  $(ibidir)/git: $(ibidir)/curl \
   957                 $(ibidir)/libiconv \
   958                 | $(tdir)/git-$(git-version).tar.xz

   961          fi; \
   962          $(call gbuild, git-$(git-version), static, \
   963                         --without-tcltk --with-shell=$(ibdir)/bash \
   964                         --with-iconv=$(idir), V=1) \
   965          && echo "Git $(git-version)" > $@


This system is *not* a Mac, it is Debian/stretch x86_64 GNU/Linux.

*REPRODUCE:*
I did `./project configure --existing-conf` a second and third time and got
the same error each time.

*ANALYSIS:*
Each time I try `./project configure --existing-conf`, a whole lot of
configuring and compilation is done, taking about three minutes, so the
testing cycle for tracing this bug is slow.

*DIAGNOSIS:*
After the third try:

After the 6th try (see below):

du -hs .build/
432M    .build/


*HYPOTHESES:*
This might be an error introduced in commit `3a49e2c`. However, after git
checking out down to commit `d91813a`, the error occurs, but on line 962:
`reproduce/software/make/basic.mk:962:`.

Trying with git checkout commit `8eb0892e`... fails at
`reproduce/software/make/basic.mk:971`.

Trying with commit `a4e2ec81d57e` from 5 April. `./project configure
--existing-conf` asked me to give the build directory again. Failure at
`reproduce/software/make/basic.mk:971`.
