It's not at all. Nor is libtool. I occasionally had issues in ./configure, too. You'll say that's "yeah, it's all about auto-crap". No. It's *very* most probably about bash, simply. (and while the gcc page makes sense (all very complex software have a lot of bugs, so compilers have, but the message has to be terribly moderated, considering the huge amount of tests that gcc receives), the auto-hell page doesn't: nowhere was it ever suggested that it's normal for software to run several ./configure instances). So, yes, it was essentially off-topic. Samuel
