To follow up we've figured out this is the error you see if you take an
existing build directory, pre recipe specific sysroot and then update
to post recipe specific sysroot.

It seems that pseudo-native, openssl-native and subversion-native have
issues where you can pass in new configuration but they don't recompile
the binaries, despite those binaries depending on the paths you pass
in.

We're seeing how widespread the problem is before deciding exactly how
to handle this. It might be a case of some PR bumps, obvioulsy wiping
TMPDIR is the comprehensive solution.

Cheers,

Richard
