STR:
 1. Have a non-empty objdir. (and don't have AUTOCLOBBER in your mozconfig)
 2. Modify the CLOBBER file
 3. run ./mach build

ACTUAL RESULTS: The entire chunk of output about
 "The CLOBBER file has been updated [etc etc]"
is printed twice now.

EXPECTED RESULTS: This information should only be printed once.

I just noticed this for the first time now, and I'm used to seeing this a few times a week, so I suspect this regressed in the past few days or so.

My build that reproduces this is at mozilla-central changeset 6c924a018540.

Interestingly, I can't reproduce.
Scrap that, I can. It doesn't reproduce with mach configure but does with mach build.
I even have it printed three times.
The problem is that mach build calls make -f client.mk, which emits the message when it tries to create .mozconfig.mk (and doesn't). But that error is ignored, so it goes on and calls make -f client.mk realbuild, which emits the message again when it tries to create .mozconfig.mk. But that error is ignored again, so it goes on and calls make -f client.mk configure, which emits the message yet again, but this time, since configure depends on CLOBBER, and that's the rule that fails, it errors out.

I've confirmed that this is fixed for me on inbound.
