I don't have simple reproducer, because it works fine in both make-3.82
I'm using (from Gentoo and Ubuntu) and with my reasonable long TOPDIR.

The problem is triggered in some webkit builds and also in nodejs-0.10.4
http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/48253/

Tasslehoff reported today that nodejs was failing for him with
/home/tas/angstrom-setup-scripts and works fine with /home/tas/oe
adding him to Cc, maybe he has better reproducer now.
