I'm not entirely sure -- at least with 2.52 and 2.53 it occurs here. They end up in a recursion loop: chroot ROOT@pepper /usr/src/packages/BUILD/httpd-2.0.39/ # aclocal chroot ROOT@pepper /usr/src/packages/BUILD/httpd-2.0.39/ # autoconf /usr/bin/m4: acinclude.m4: 289: ERROR: Recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to change it This happens not only in our stable branch but also on SuSE Linux 8.0. However, obviously the configure script packaged with the 2.0.39 tarball has been created with autoconf 2.53. So it seems to work for you, somehow. Peter -- VFS: Busy inodes after unmount.
