This is the aclocal copy race we keep seeing. autotools doesn't like m4
files disappearing when it runs so we make a copy of aclocal in
autotools.bbclass. The trouble is we can still race against the cp. What
we really want to do is copy any files but ignore failures. The fact it
goes missing doesn't actually matter here.
