For example: $ echo 'AC_INIT([changequote], [1.0])' > configure.ac $ autoconf --force /usr/bin/m4:configure.ac:1: recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to change it autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
and even: $ echo 'AC_INIT([perl-changequote-helper], [1.0])' > configure.ac $ autoconf --force /usr/bin/m4:configure.ac:1: recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to change it autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 Both have been tested with autoconf 2.68, 2.65 and 2.62: the failures above are always present. The attached script (to be run in a temporary directory!) should help generating a list of all builtins that are problematic in this regards. JFTR, this is the result with autoconf 2.68: changecom changequote debugfile define divert divnum errprint eval include index len mkstemp popdef pushdef shift sinclude substr syscmd sysval traceoff traceon undefine undivert Regards, Stefano
