You mention several issues: - test hangs of | 92: torture.at:134 AC_CONFIG_FILES, HEADERS, LINKS and COMMANDS | 221: acprograms.at:20 AC_PROG_SED - apparently very long build and install times. You mention LINUX, but I am not certain whether that is the system you build on. Please tell us something about your system, architecture, operating system, rough age (speed), send the config.log file, the files tests/testsuite.dir/092/testsuite.log tests/testsuite.dir/220/testsuite.log (in your changed numbering) of which the first one was probably overwritten by the next testsuite run. In that case please undo your changes to tests/torture.at, and run make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -x 92 221' 2>&1 | tee check-log and post check-log. Probably you'll have to do this once for test 92 and once for 221 separately, if they hang. On GNU/Linux, a build of Autoconf takes on the order of a few seconds, and a full testsuite run takes a quarter of an hour, on a modern system. OTOH, on an AIX system, the testsuite can take several hours with bash as CONFIG_SHELL, and days with /bin/sh. FWIW, it's always better to send bug reports to the appropriate mailing list than to a personal email address, just like you did. Cheers, and thanks for the report, Ralf
