I don't really know where to ask for help: trying libtool as the last macro mentioned is an autoconf fixup for libtool..
I'm trying to build apr with cvs autotools, and essentially do libtoolize sinclude(build/{libtool,ltsugar,ltversion,ltoptsion,argz}.m4) in configure.in (instead of aclocal - AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is in configure.in) autoheader autoconf but at the autoheader stage autom4te: running: /usr/local/bin/gm4 --nesting-limit=1024 --include=/usr/local/share/autoconf ... configure.in:2084: /usr/local/bin/gm4: ERROR: Recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to change it Now, that is the AC_OUTPUT line, and the last thing to appear in autom4te.cache/traces.0t is m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST([LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED], [$ac_libobjs]) m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST_TRACE([LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- m4_pattern_allow([^LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST([LTLIBOBJS], [$ac_ltlibobjs]) m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- AC_SUBST_TRACE([LTLIBOBJS]) m4trace:configure.in:2084: -1- m4_pattern_allow([^LTLIBOBJS$]) which is from AC_OUTPUT -> AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_PRE # _AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE # --------------------- # Clean up LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS so that they work with 1. ac_objext, # 2.

AC_DEFUN([_AC_LIBOBJS_NORMALIZE], [ac_libobjs= ac_ltlibobjs= for ac_i in : $LIB@&[EMAIL PROTECTED]; do test "x$ac_i" = x: && continue # 1.
