automake-1.4-p5 patch for cond5.test


From: Christian Cornelssen
Subject: automake-1.4-p5 patch for cond5.test

Dear Automake maintainers,

When trying to "make check" in automake-1.4-p5, `cond5.test' failed
due to a timeout that was set too low for my i486-SuSE-Linux platform.
Therefore, I have increased the timeout value.

Furthermore, when editing `cond5.test', I encountered a strange variable
definition in the embedded `Makefile.am', and changed it from

        OPT_SRC = $(OPT_SRC) two.c

to

        OPT_SRC := $(OPT_SRC) two.c

because the former definition would create an endless reference loop in
`make' and can therefore be regarded as invalid anyway, while the latter
is an incremental assignment that `automake' just cannot handle.

The test verifies that `automake' does not hang anymore when processing
such a recursive definition.  Perhaps you do not want to change the
definition in order to test automake's stability even for nonsensical
input, but the latter variant is more realistic since it's the only
reasonable one.


Best regards,

Christian Cornelssen
