Are you aware of the recent macro loop in CVS HEAD/branch-2-0 Libtool in conjunction with special Autoconf versions? Which exact Autoconf/Automake/Libtool versions do you use (if CVS versions include `head ChangeLog`). > Now, that is the AC_OUTPUT line, and the last thing to appear in > autom4te.cache/traces.0t is > > m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST([LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED], > [$ac_libobjs]) > m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST_TRACE([LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- m4_pattern_allow([^LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST([LTLIBOBJS], [$ac_ltlibobjs]) > m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST_TRACE([LTLIBOBJS]) > m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- m4_pattern_allow([^LTLIBOBJS$]) > > which is from AC_OUTPUT -> AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE > > # _AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE > # --------------------- > # Clean up LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS so that they work with 1. ac_objext, > # 2.

Well, what I did was go back patches until I had the one, then go up and down macro calls and comment out random stuff to find out what's going on. Then I reported that I was stuck and Ralf Menzel came up with a fix (actually he tracked it down too, mostly). :) No, seriously, post something reproducible. Someone will know..
