I simulated this by extracting the emacs 23.3a tarfile and then doing: find . -exec touch -t 201111111111 '{}' '+' to set the dates of all the files a few months in the future. Then what should be the end of ./configure prints: creating src/epaths.h make: Warning: File `/path/to/emacs-23.3/configure' has modification time 6.8e+06 s in the future ./config.status --recheck and round and round it goes. The loop is caused by configure invoking `make epaths-force' and the rule in Makefile that says: config.status: ${srcdir}/configure ${srcdir}/lisp/version.el ./config.status --recheck Nothing ever changes the timestamp of configure, so it always remains newer than config.status.
