I'm having trouble in reproducing this on my system.  Maybe it's easy
for you to show us the bug: please try the supposedly-looping command
manually in the project directory.  If it still hangs or loops, please
try adding --debug to see what it does.  Post what you find, but pack
and/or cut off voluminous output at some sensible point, please.

Also, I see that the bug has been reported over a year ago.  That means,
it likely isn't new with Libtool version 2.2, if it is indeed an
autotools bug at all.

It's a bit disappointing that the bug has not been forwarded at that
time, if only to clarify whether it's really autotools rather than
Kdevelop which is at fault here.

Thanks for the bug report now,
Ralf
