Look at your recipe(s).  The simple way to fix this is to change
'inherit autotools' to 'inherit autotools-brokensep'

You could also look at the recipe more deeply and figure out
where it assumes that ${S} == ${B} because of a recent change
in OE-core, this is no longer true when you inherit autotools.
