Minimal defconfig

When placing the Buildroot sources under /usr/local (e.g. /usr/local/buildroot-2014.02), GnuTLS fails at the linking stage with the following error:

make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/local/buildroot.git/output/build/gnutls-3.2.14/lib'
  CCLD     libgnutls.la
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/local/buildroot.git/output/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/local/buildroot.git/output/build/pcre-8.35/libpcre.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/local/buildroot.git/output/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/local/buildroot.git/output/build/pcre-8.35/libpcre.la'
make[5]: *** [libgnutls.la] Error 1

As you can see, the problem concerns the path of the PCRE library, which contains 2 occurences of "/usr/local/buildroot.git/...".

The bug goes away when building from the /home/<user> directory.

I was able to reproduce the bug using a minimal defconfig two different environments (Arch Linux and Debian 7.5 in LXC). It is present in both 2014.02 and 2014.05-rc1 (I did not test earlier releases). The defconfig targets the Silica Pengwyn ARM board (similar to the BeagleBone), and is attached to this bug report.

I re-did a search to be sure, and found a duplicate for this bug. I'm sorry for the noise.
