+Fix missing test directory creation.
+
+GCC used in OE-core has "dependency tracking" disabled and
+libevent has problem with this.
+Due to removed makefile.am/in files in test/sample/include
+directories, output directories are not created in
+configuration step. Compilation step will fails, when
+trying to write to non-existing directory.
+
+Reference:http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-support/libevent/libevent/Makefile-missing-test-dir.patch?h=master
+Conflict:NA
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [Other]
+Workaround specific to our build system.
