L4Re Makefile bug?

[Matthias Lange]

Are you using ecryptfs? This known to cause this infinite recursion. However as far as I know there is no fix yet but to build outside your ecryptfs directory.

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.
