L4Re Makefile bug?

[Michael Kirkpatrick]

I've downloaded the l4re-core-2010070715.tar.bz2 archive, and I've tried 
to build the project.  I have no problem compiling the Fiasco.OC kernel, 
but the L4Re core build seems to be entering an infinite loop.  After 
running for a few seconds, I get the following lines repeated forever:

All checked ok.
scripts/kconfig/conf -s [l4dir]/mk/Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -s [l4dir]/mk/Kconfig
make[11]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

I also noticed that I get this same infinite loop if I do make config 
(after the menu exits) or make oldconfig.  Something about the post-config 
clean-up seems to be continuously forking new processes and looping.  The 
comment at line 179 of the [l4dir]/Makefile indicates that make is called 
again for postprocessing, but I don't know make well enough to debug this 
problem.  Any ideas what's causing the problem?  I've included the output 
below for reference.

Thanks,
Michael Kirkpatrick
