I'm up, so:

Works for me on snow leopard.


But it doesn't seem to want to stop configure'ing on my fbsd8/amd64 box:

$ ./configure --prefix=/src/build/pg85a3
$ gmake # GNU make 3.81
<keeps running configure again and again>
... (last few lines before it appears to restart configure)
configure: creating ./config.status
cd . && ./config.status src/Makefile.global
config.status: creating src/Makefile.global
./config.status GNUmakefile
config.status: creating GNUmakefile
cd . && ./config.status --recheck
running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --no-create --no-recursion


However, I can build the REL8_5_ALPHA3_BRANCH from git using that box..
Recently pulled, gmake distclean'd and remade again..

Usually that means timestamp skew, ie file timestamps are later than
your system clock.

Yep. It's working now.

I've hit this problem before and could not figure out what was wrong. 
Is this documented somewhere?

Well, this is more of a general problem.  Anything using make will
misbehave if the clock is wrong, and anything using autotools even more
so.
