“SWIG-1.3.38 has been released. It contains an output directory
regression fix and other minor bug fixes.”
I have a memory of someone having an issue with swig recently, was it
with gnuradio?

Your memory is correct, and, yes, the issue was with how SWIG 1.3.37
behaved w/r.t. GNU Radio: in 1.3.36, the default output directory for
all created files was the same as that the argument to the “-o” output
file specifier option. In 1.3.37, the default output directory was
changed for the .py output file to be the directory of the input .i
file … which creates an error when doing ‘make distcheck’ because
the directory of the input .i file is not writable. Adding in the
flag “-outdir $(builddir)” fixes the issue all the way back to around
SWIG version 1.3.20, and should be forwards API compatible as well.
There is a GNU Radio branch which corrects the behavior to make it the
same with 1.3.36 and 1.3.37 (by adding “-outdir $(builddir)”) – which
is still in testing – but 1.3.38 should have corrected this issue for
those who are or will be using it. - MLD

1.3.38 is working fine in Angstrom for the Beagle 
Still trying to work out my exact issues with make check.
