Public bug reported:
I extracted the qemu 5.2.0 source as one user, and then tried to run
`./configure --help` in that directory as a different user. Normal
autoconf configure scripts have no problem with this but yours goes into
an infinite loop printing nonsense:
Using './build' as the directory for build output
mkdir: build: Permission denied
touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory
./configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied
./configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory
