Hi Ralf,
as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I get a few FAILs when runnig 'make check'
on the current Automake-git. Looking into the three tests I concluded that
it must be a timing problem. Running ten times just these three tests I
got:
aclocal9: 6 FAIL + 4 PASS
acloca10: 10 FAIL
nodef: 8 FAIL + 2 PASS
after applying the attached patch I got 10 PASSes for each test.
The patch introduces a delay between successive invocations of aclocal.
Probably using 'aclocal -f' would have the same effect, but a delay --
undesirable as it might be -- seems to be closer to a typical use case.
BTW: There may be additional test suffering from the same problem.
Regards
