Title:
  qemu 5.2.0 configure script explodes when in read only directory

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I extracted the qemu 5.2.0 source as one user, and then tried to run
  `./configure --help` in that directory as a different user. Normal
  autoconf configure scripts have no problem with this but yours goes
  into an infinite loop printing nonsense:

  Using './build' as the directory for build output
  mkdir: build: Permission denied
  touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory
  ./configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied
  ./configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory
  Using './build' as the directory for build output
  mkdir: build: Permission denied
  touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory
  /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied
  /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory
  Using './build' as the directory for build output
  mkdir: build: Permission denied
  touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory
  /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied
  /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory
  Using './build' as the directory for build output
  mkdir: build: Permission denied
  touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory
  /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 37: GNUmakefile: Permission denied
  /path/to/qemu-5.2.0/configure: line 59: cd: build: No such file or directory
  Using './build' as the directory for build output
  mkdir: build: Permission denied
  touch: build/auto-created-by-configure: No such file or directory
