The setup:
gnuplot CVS sources, autoconf-2.57, automake-1.7
build directory below the top source directory.
I edit configure.in and then run
make -C builddir
This runs, among other things
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
and that calls
/bin/sh ../configure
and then it hurts. This configure run takes unbelievably long to
finish. On the order of 30 seconds per check, for things like
(cached!) AC_CHECK_HEADER(sys/types.h).
Kicking it in the rump to make sure it uses /bin/ksh instead of /bin/sh
seems to help, and it seems to remember that for a while. But everytime
it returns to /bin/sh for some unknown reason, it falls back to crawling
speed again. Any explanations?
