When I run make after running configure, it goes into a continuous loop
trying to make the target 'install-recursive' AFAICT:-

Making all in .
make[1]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d'
Making install in .
make[2]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d'
Making install in .
make[3]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d'
Making install in .
make[4]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d'
Making install in .

This goes on until there is a system error.

Can someone suggest what is going wrong here? Or what I can try to avoid
it?

I'm running under OS/2 BTW, so this is probably the cause, but I don't
normally experience any such problems with makefiles.
