This happens if I use a read-only source tree:

~/tmp/out-of-tree > pwd
/home/EB/sebastian_h/tmp/out-of-tree
~/tmp/out-of-tree > ~/src/rtems/waf --top $HOME/src/rtems-read-only 
--out $PWD/build configure --rtems-config $PWD/config.ini
Setting top to                           : 
/home/EB/sebastian_h/src/rtems-read-only
Setting out to                           : 
/home/EB/sebastian_h/tmp/out-of-tree/build
