Fair enough. > I am assuming here that the problem you observed is related to M4 > versions. If it's something else then we should fix it. I've tested now (sorry for not doing that earlier). It's something else. For now I can only presume it's bug in the Libtool m4 macros (manifests itself with branch-2-0 and HEAD of Libtool). Thanks for making me look again! I have no idea yet how to localize this guy, so here goes a copy for the libtool-patches list: This patch[1] causes bootstrapping of Libtool branch-2-0/HEAD to fail. I presume a bug in our macros. The failure is (./bootstrap output): | autoreconf: Entering directory `.' | autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext | autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4 | configure.ac:186: /usr/local/bin/m4: ERROR: Recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to change it | autom4te: /usr/local/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 Regards, Ralf [1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2005-06/msg00014.html
