bug#47848: aclocal fails with "error: too many loops"

[Karl Berry]

Ei Eric,

        Automake::ChannelDefs::prog_error("too many loops") called at
    /opt/local/bin/aclocal line 1187

I've never seen that error before. The comment in aclocal where the
check is done says:

# We may have to rerun aclocal if some file have been installed, but
# it should not happen more than once. 

So, hmm.

    ...
    automake 1.16.3 as installed by MacPorts. Any idea what's going on?

Nothing springs to mind, sorry.

Is it reproducible? Any chance you can cut down your configure.ac and
project to something smaller? Else I guess I can try taking your project
and making the same change (eventually).

Thanks for the report. --karl
