tags 1089250 help thanks Hello. I'm tagging this report with "help" because I use alpine myself and would be glad to test any possible fixes that may be proposed.
The way this fails is now different: aclocal: overwriting 'm4/nls.m4' with '/usr/share/aclocal/nls.m4' aclocal: overwriting 'm4/po.m4' with '/usr/share/aclocal/po.m4' aclocal: overwriting 'm4/progtest.m4' with '/usr/share/aclocal/progtest.m4' aclocal: installing 'm4/intlmacosx.m4' from '/usr/share/aclocal/intlmacosx.m4' aclocal: error: too many loops aclocal: Please contact <[email protected]>. at /usr/share/automake-1.16/Automake/Channels.pm line 655.

Thanks.
