We have a tree with over 1200 Makefile.am's. Under automake-1.5 these files were processed in about 15 minutes on a reasonably zippy machine.
Under 1.8 this takes over an hour and a half. I first mentioned this in: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2004-02/msg00058.html which received no responses. What can I do to help find/fix this problem? Please reply to me as a Cc: as I keep getting unsubscribed to the lists due to "bounces" and I have been unable to get any response from postmaster@ to give me any hint as to where these bounces are happening (and my mail logs do not show them).
