When I download the NTP software and tried to build the software it became
caught in a build loop.  The following kept repeating itself (2 hours before I
noticed it the first time - doing other things as well).

 /bin/sh ./config.status

config.status: config.h is unchanged

I tried versions from 4.2.2 to 4.2.5p2 and the same thing happened everytime.  I
 downloaded version ntp-4.2.0 and it built as expected. 

This is the from the build of the 4.2.0 build

            y=`cat version 2>/dev/null` || true && \
            case "$x" in ''|$y) ;; *) echo $x > version ;; esac

I originally did just "configure" and then created a command file with the
following to determine if I needed to specify some options.

configure  --prefix=/usr/local          \
           --enable-linuxcaps           \
           --enable-getifaddrs          \
           --enable-nist                \
           --enable-all-clocks          \
           --enable-parse-clocks        \
           --enable-kmem                \
           --enable-simulator           \
           --enable-irig-sawtooth       \
           --enable-ipv6                \
           --with-openssl=yes

These are some of the versions of the software running on the system.

gcc version 3.4.6
Slackware Linux 11 (Kernel 2.4.33.3)
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.60
GNU Make 3.81
GNU M4 1.4.6
DropLineGnome GNOME software for Slackware 11.0 is also installed.

Access to the system for building is possible.
