This (cannot run...) at least is a problem in something I have changed recently. The apparent cause of the infinite loop (seen here by disabling the pkg-config and ncurses*-config checks) is a while-loop in CF_ADD_INCDIR, which has been (it seems) waiting since 2007 for someone to notice a problem... -- Thomas E.
