Build issue..."Not a git repository"

[robjsstewart at ...196...]

Thanks for the reply Emery. 

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.

Hello,

It looks to me like this is caused by core and libc trying to get some version
information from git, but it is failing because the current working directory
(BUILD_DIR) is not inside a git repository. In the case of core it is only a
cosmetic issue, and version information was removed from libc not long after
it was introduced, so as you move further down the master branch that warning
will disapear regardless.
