Runtime exception in creating content of .deps/

[Benjamin Sailer]

Hello,

using autoconf / automake to create a reasonable build enviroment
for our project, I discovered something looking like a Limitation/Bug
when running the configure-script.

The Software should be compiled and installed on a Motorola 68040 VME
CPU having only 16MB memory, using a realtime operating system
(LynxOS 2.5), that probably limits the number of processes to be
invoked at a time (but it is only a guess that this could cause the
failure)

The project has about 40 compilation units and while configuring
the script fails with the error message:

...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating scripts/ctrl
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
wait_for: No record of pid 512
Tell deliberately-anonymous to fix this someday.
Stopping address@hidden 
/hades/usr/hades/oct02/build/m68k-unknown-lynxos/runctrl ]$

while some of the files are already there but empty, some are even
missing.

The configure-script was created using

autoconf-2.53-7
(together with automake-1.6.3-5)

on a RedHat 7.3 box with the autotools from the rawhide branch.


Any clue what happens there?  Is there a solution available?

Thanks

Benjamin
