The problem arose from my messing around with the build system. I
wanted to have multiple builds from the same source tree, so I had:
$HOME/haiku/buildtools -- Linux buildtool checkout
$HOME/haiku/source -- Haiku source checkout
$HOME/haiku/dickless -- my build 1 hierarchy
$HOME/haiku/HP-laptop -- my build 2 hierarchy etc.
Then each of $HOME/haiku/dickless etc. contain a load of symlinks
to ../source/3rdparty, ../source/headers etc. but what ended up
happening was that ../source/Jamfile included itself, hence unbounded
recursion.
So what I'm doing now is what I think is supposed to be the way it
works: create $HOME/haiku/dickless etc. empty and
run ../source/configure in it. That's running now.
(OBTW: dickless because it's a diskless thin client, geddit. My
theory is that Haiku is 'light' enough to run reasonably on this Atom
N280. If I could get an X server running I'd switch right now)
