make(1) in AM_SANITY_CHECK seems to be a logic error, since the user
may want to build with a different $MAKE,
You're right. Crap. It never ends.
In practice it probably doesn't matter, though. Although in theory one
can imagine that "make" succeeds while $MAKE fails, resulting in a false
positive, in practice that seems next to zero probability to me. Much
more likely is that "make" fails and $MAKE succeeds, and the only
downside of that is an extra second of sleeping.
have a way to revise AM_SANITY_CHECK that can avoid any sleep in the
most common cases.
Bruno's last patch already does that, doesn't it? I'll apply it shortly.
Are you willing to consider patches on this?
I guess.
The more I look at this, the less I understand it. Especially because I
generally cannot reproduce the problems/situations that people are
trying to fix with this endless series of patches. --thanks, karl.
