I am packaging an autotools based upstream project for use with OE/Yocto. Yocto will try to build the project out-of-tree (separate from the source). This fails miserable. I have validated that this is not related to the OE/Yocto setup by trying an out-tree-build on my regular desktop. It fails in the same way.

How can I integrate an autotools project with broken out-of-tree build in OE/Yocto?

The recommended solution is to fix the build system to work with out-of-tree builds but there is also a workaround:

inherit autotools-brokensep

Use that instead of inheriting autotools.
