atk looping in build

[J. W. Ballantine]

On a 7-RC system, tracking MC cvsup, the build of atk appears to be
looping.  It does:
 cd . && /bin/sh /usr/ports/accessibility/atk/work/atk-1.21.92/missing --run 
automake-1.9 --gnu
 cd . && /bin/sh /usr/ports/accessibility/atk/work/atk-1.21.92/missing --run 
autoconf
 /bin/sh ./config.status --recheck

Does a series of checking for's and ends with:
 configure: creating ./config.status
 /bin/sh ./config.status
 config.status: creating Makefile
 config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
 config.status: creating atk.pc
 config.status: creating atk-uninstalled.pc
 config.status: creating atk/Makefile
 config.status: creating atk/atk.rc
 config.status: creating tests/Makefile
 config.status: creating docs/Makefile
 config.status: creating docs/version.xml
 config.status: creating atk.spec
  config.status: creating atk-zip.sh
  config.status: creating config.h
 config.status: config.h is unchanged
 config.status: executing depfiles commands
 config.status: executing default-1 commands

And then starts with the cd . && /bin/sh /usr/ports/accessibility/atk/work/atk-
1.21.92/missing etc.

autoconf is 2.61.

Any ideas on what is causing this loop?

Thanks

Jim
