Interesting. Can you please provide a link to the repository?
Wait, my mistake, that is actually encoded as a symlink, because that
would be difficult to build with objects except if one were to reference
an older version, so it has to eventually terminate.
The package (make-env) just uses itself as a test framework, silly as
that sounds, so it's not as broken as expected.
The entry into the submodule hell is
https://github.com/f4pga/prjxray.git
This has two copies of googletest, so it can provide at least one
pathological test case.
