Hello
I ran apt-get build-dep emacs23 with result: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I took
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.3a.tar.gz
gunzipped it and untarred it.
I entered the resulting source directory emacs-23.3 and ran ./configure.
Then ./configure started to check and when it ended, without pause, it repeated the same checkings, and again and again...
Since it refused to stop by itself, I stopped it manually with C-z.
Then I removed the source directory emacs-23.3 and extracted a fresh one from the tarball.
Again I entered the source directory and ran ./configure.
Again it ran eternally.
I repeated this exercise a few times.
Whenever I stopped ./configure some tens of minutes after starting it, I noticed that it had created a few new files in the source directory but no Makefile
Whenever I allowed ./configure to run several hours before stopping it, I noticed that it had created in the source directory a whole army of new files, most of them with a name starting with conf followed by some random characters. An example: confTgLUip, confTxjcW5, confuo2ySs, confWbNvqm, confWO1cJQ, confWzfwLE, ...
Besides these conf* files it had also created a Makefile. But when I ran make, it just continued with the checking over and over again.
I also noticed that the longer I left ./configure run, the more new processes were being started. After some hours they amounted to hundreds, all but few named /bin/bash ./config.status and make epaths-force.
This means that no usable Makefile is created in an acceptable time, as far as I accept to wait, so I can't use make to build emacs.
I wonder if everything is all right, so should I wait longer, for instance: several days, to configure to finish.
Or, configure is good, but there is something with my machine and OS that makes configure go mad.
Or, something is wrong with configure.
Best regards

It should not take configure more than a minute or so to run on a
reasonably modern machine.
Please try running configure from a clean start like:
./configure |& tee conf.log
Do you get to a point that looks like this:
Configured for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'.
Where should the build process find the source code?...
[...]
Does Emacs use toolkit scroll bars? yes
configure: creating ./config.status
[...]
If so, please post conf.log from the start up to that point and say the
next 100 lines. Otherwise, please try to find the point at which it
starts to repeat itself and post everything up to that and the next 100
lines.

Hello
conf.log goes attached.
Suddenly I got it.
Some days ago I had my BIOS reset. Now, when I went to set the system date manually, I inserted day-month-year.
Can you imagine that it should have been the american way: month-day-year?
So I had my system date set for some months before real time. Very funny.
And then, when I wanted to build emacs, there goes configure checking round and round. It seems configure didn't like to have source files with a timestamp future to the system date. That night I dreamt of me draining the emacs52 source code down a time pit, but I couldn't get it built, unfortunately.
Now, this shouldn't have happened.
I could wish to build emacs with my system date consciously set for whatever I wanted.
Anyway, before I had this issue with building emacs, I built many other things with no apparent problem. Those configures of them didn't complain.
So I updated my system date and now emacs builds all right.
But I could refuse to change my system date, no matter what. Then, I could try to touch recursively the source code directory with find emacs-23.3 -exec touch {} \; and only after run ./configure.
I did that too and I built successfully emacs back in 1981.
Something should be made to immunise configure against these time discrepancies.
Unfortunately, my science doesn't go that far yet. I hope someone will do it.
Best regards
And many thanks for your reply and availability to help.

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.

I can't reproduce the problem on the trunk, when I build 'configure'
with Autoconf 2.68 (the current Autoconf version). I haven't
looked into the details, but a superficial check suggests that
recent versions of Autoconf generate a 'configure' script that
automatically checks for bogus system clocks and refuses to continue.
We should build Emacs 24 with the latest Autoconf anyway, to fix
some other porting issues; and that should fix this bug as well,
so I'm marking it done.

FWIW, it seems to be that in the trunk, configure.in calls
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, which calls AM_SANITY_CHECK, which checks the system
clock. So it looks like an automake thing, not an autoconf one, so the
version of autoconf probably doesn't matter for this issue.
