#41705: Install hangs with loop of recursive make invocations

 Trying to install expat and/or gettext hangs.
 The hang prevents me from completely updating outdated ports.

 The command
 $ sudo port  install expat
 gets to building gettext:
 Deactivating expat @2.1.0_0+universal
 --->  Cleaning expat
 --->  Activating expat @2.1.0_0
 --->  Cleaning expat
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%

 --->  Rebuilding in order
      gettext @0.18.1.1 +universal
 --->  Computing dependencies for gettext
 --->  Dependencies to be installed: expat
 --->  Deactivating expat @2.1.0_0
 --->  Cleaning expat
 --->  Activating expat @2.1.0_0+universal
 --->  Cleaning expat
 --->  Building get text
 This never ends.
 I hit this bug after self update, while running
 $ port upgrade outdated

 The build hangs in a recursive invocation of make that starts with:
 sh -c  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gettext/gettext/work/gettext-0.18.3.1-x86_64"
 && /usr/bin/make -j8 -w all
 and then continues via make executing a build task:
 /bin/sh -c fail=; if (target_option=k; case ${target_option-} in ?) ;; *)
 echo "am__make_running_with_option: internal error: invalid" "target
 option '${target_option-}' specified" >&2; exit 1;; esac; has_opt=no;
 sane_makeflags=$MAKEFLAGS; if test -n ' Makefile' && test -n '0'; then
 sane_makeflags=$MFLAGS; else case $MAKEFLAGS in *\\[\ \^I]*) bs=\\;
 sane_makeflags=`printf '%s\n' "$MAKEFLAGS" | sed "s/$bs$bs[$bs
 $bs^I]*//g"`;; esac; fi; skip_next=no; strip_trailopt () { flg=`printf
 '%s\n' "$flg" | sed "s/$1.*$//"`; }; for flg in $sane_makeflags; do test
 $skip_next = yes && { skip_next=no; continue; }; case $flg in *=*|--*)
 continue;; -*I) strip_trailopt 'I'; skip_next=yes;; -*I?*) strip_trailopt
 'I';; -*O) strip_trailopt 'O'; skip_next=yes;; -*O?*) strip_trailopt 'O';;
 -*l) strip_trailopt 'l'; skip_next=yes;; -*l?*) strip_trailopt 'l';;
 -[dEDm]) skip_next=yes;; -[JT]) skip_next=yes;; esac; case $flg in
 *$target_option*) has_opt=yes; break;; esac; done; test $has_opt = yes);
 then   failcom='fail=yes'; else   failcom='exit 1'; fi; dot_seen=no;
 target=`echo all-recursive | sed s/-recursive//`; case "all-recursive" in
 distclean-* | maintainer-clean-*) list='gnulib-local gettext-runtime
 gettext-tools' ;;   *) list='gnulib-local gettext-runtime gettext-tools'
 ;; esac; for subdir in $list; do   echo "Making $target in $subdir";   if
 test "$subdir" = "."; then     dot_seen=yes;     local_target="$target-
 am";   else     local_target="$target";   fi;
 (CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd $subdir &&
 /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make
 $local_target)   || eval $failcom; done; if test "$dot_seen" = "no"; then
 /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make
 "$target-am" || exit 1; fi; test -z "$fail"

 I have log file attached. I killed one of recursive invocations, as shown
 in the log  in attempt to end the build.
