>From a quick skim of aclocal code, it looks like it may be scanning all the m4 files in /usr/local/share/aclocal and then processing the files, so I think this may be due to a change in files present between scan and processing. If so, I'd expect it to affect anything using aclocal (but the race window must be small or we'd see it more often). naddy has mentioned having noticed a similar problem in other ports at times. If that's the case, we'd either need to disable junking while running aclocal (ugh), or change aclocal to cope with disappearing files.
