I think it is related to something going wrong with the script that updates submodules, which fails to actually pull in the submodule code for dtc etc. This bug is triggered because the configure script adds "slirp" to the list of submodules even though it is not actually a submodule. Dan was looking at this a few days back, IIRC. We should fix the update script to be more robust to being asked to update nonexistent submodules, but we should also stop asking it to do anything with the nonexistent 'slirp' submodule... thanks -- PMM
