I don't quite understand your animosity here. Gnulib is supposed to help porting to systems, and I'm highlighting a situation where it doesn't work. Why such antagonism vs trying to understand why it doesn't work? Surely a configure test that causes the RCU to spin for 12 hours and hang a whole system isn't a great way to have portability. Are you responsible for this particular script, or is there someone else who can help with a lot less hostility? >
