This may fix your immediate problem, but it is wrong. Assume you have
built U-Boot from some specific version, then the git commit ID will
be shown as part of the version string. Assume you now edit a file
and run "make" again. The intention is that this new build shows the
"-dirty" marker in the version string, plus the new build date.
Your change breaks this behaviour.
I just posted another patch: ``Avoid infinite loop "Generating
include/autoconf.mk" '' which is supposed to fix the problem, without
unwanted side effects.
Please test.
Best regards,
