From: "P. J. McDermott" Description: Fix sysdeps preconfigure fragments on BusyBox ash On shells that don't support the LINENO parameter (e.g. BusyBox ash), the AS_LINENO_PREPARE macro (executed by AC_INIT) preprocesses the script $as_myself into $as_me.lineno. . Unfortunately, when loading sysdeps preconfigure fragements, these as_* parameters refer to the configure script rather than the fragments. . As a result, the configure script is executed by a preconfigure fragment in an infinitely recursive loop. . This patch temporarily changes the parameters to refer to the fragments, allowing the fragments to be properly preprocessed and breaking the loop. diff -Naur src.orig/libc/aclocal.m4 src/libc/aclocal.m4 --- src.orig/libc/aclocal.m4 2012-12-02 16:11:45.000000000 -0500 +++ src/libc/aclocal.m4 2013-06-20 12:19:51.818414209 -0400 @@ -161,7 +161,14 @@ for frag in $frags; do name=`echo "$frag" | sed 's@/[[^/]]*[$]@@;s@^.*/@@'` echo $ECHO_N "$name $ECHO_C" >&AS_MESSAGE_FD + orig_as_me=$as_me + orig_as_myself=$as_myself + as_me=${frag##*/sysdeps/} + as_me=${as_me%/preconfigure}-preconfigure + as_myself=$frag .
