First of all, thanks for your interest in getting to the bottom of this. Unfortunately, I am rather short of time at the moment. But I can tell you how I fixed this in OpenOCD: https://review.openocd.org/c/openocd/+/8600 If you check out OpenOCD before that commit, and run the following commands, you should be able to reproduce the issue: cd $HOME/src-dir ./bootstrap cd $HOME/build-dir $HOME/src-dir/configure make distcheck It is a rather elusive problem. It didn't happen always, and I thought at first it was down to my messy development environment. Another OpenOCD developer reported a similar experience in the URL mentioned above. If you have a clean source repository, and delete and re-create the out-of-tree build directory every time, it should happen more often than not. I am running Ubuntu MATE 22.04.5: $ autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.71 $ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.16.5 You can easily build any autools version combination with this script: https://github.com/rdiez/Tools/tree/master/Autotools Regards, rdiez
