Hi Khem,

What did mean about externalsrc, please ? Did you mean when B != S?
If yes, it works well since it is for aclocal, which always runs in S.
We have already such a fix in several recipes.

meta/recipes-extended/tar/tar.inc:acpaths = "-I ./m4"
meta/recipes-extended/wget/wget.inc:acpaths = "-I ./m4"
meta/recipes-core/coreutils/coreutils_6.9.bb:acpaths = "-I ./m4"
meta/recipes-core/coreutils/coreutils_8.25.bb:acpaths = "-I ./m4"
