I had it once:
The cause was that the TMPDIR that wasn't setup correctly:
I had:
TMPDIR = ${HOME}/oetmp/
instead of:
TMPDIR = ${HOME}/oetmp

the last / caused the path of something into the TMPDIR to be:
${HOME}/oetmp//work/etc...
the doubble slash prevented a regular expression from working.
The regular expression in question was changing the content of the .la
files(libtool archive).
And so the .la content were not changed.
And that triggered the QA problem because the paths inside the .la files
weren't changed(they were relative to the build directory instead of
the / path if I remember well)
