Hi Ralf, almost certainly this has to do with the rounding/truncation of sub-second timestamps, possibly handled in a different way by Autotools and GNU Make 3.81.
So, off to find out where my hypothesis goes wrong. Can you apply this diff, run the test as cd tests $srcdir/aclocal9.test repeatedly until it fails for you, then send the two aclocal-log-? files as well as the test output? Thanks. Which Autoconf version do you use?
2.65 as required for the ObjC++ patch.

To fit into my infrastructure I did: cd test make TESTS='aclocal9.test' check but that should be equivalent. The third attempt failed; the files you asked for are attached, together with the output from "ls -lrt --fu aclocal9.dir". In case you need more info please let me know. Regards Peter
