I've never seen anything like this. The subsequent question is: Who
cares? Just clean the build and start again? Your x86* based
cross-build environment should be so fast that it doesn't matter.

The bug in question could be a make bug, could be a flawed target we
fixed in a later release, or just about anything. The only solution is
brute-force debug the make output in verbose mode and see why the
target is circular.

Cheers,
Carlos.
