thanks for reproducer! This _really_ looks like issue mentioned [1], though the thread is believed to be resolved (with existing small slowdown between libtool-2.4.5 and 2.4.2). Let me CC Robert whether this patch does not actually fix the "1 sec" slowdown of libtoolize. > Could you tell me how to fix this problem?. You can workaround/fix this by: -m4_define([nginx_version], m4_include(nginx_version)) -NGINX_VERSION=nginx_version +NGINX_VERSION=m4_include([nginx_version]) See the "recursion" in 'nginx_version' definition. Its not recursion usually (because nginx_version is not defined in the time of m4_define) -- but libtoolize script does 'm4_undefine(m4_include)' before evaluating configure.ac. > Is this libtool's Bug? I would say so, see the attached patch I'll push very soon (if there are no objections). > * OS OSX 10.10.5. and CentOS7 Should be IMO reproducible everywhere.

>From 40d297de7502f93a546126ff69d3f687f3d3ca1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Raiskup <prais...@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 23:17:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libtoolize: fix infinite recursion in m4 Some projects use this construct in configure.ac: m4_define([version], m4_include([version]) pkg_version=version When the m4_include builtin is undefined (as is done in libtoolize and extract-trace scripts), the call to 'version' macro goes to infinite recursion (until ENOMEM). Due to theirs usual semantics/evaluation, other undefined macros/builtins should not cause troubles here.
