I've been building Genode the same way for several years and never seen these messages, and BUILD_DIR has never been inside a git repository. I suspect it is related to building libc in 16.05.

You're right and as Emery wrote: The second warning will disappear with the next release (or with the current master branch). Nevertheless, I'm curious why you see the first warning as git is used like follows in repos/base/src/core/version.inc.

git -C $(GENODE_ROOT_DIR) describe --dirty=" <local changes>" 2> /dev/null

On my machine, this line effectivle prevents warnings from git for any GENODE_ROOT_DIR, for example

GENODE_ROOT_DIR=/tmp
