I've got an issue preventing me from compiling a program, but it seems more like a *nix issue, so I'll post it here.
A program on my laptop (running Fedora 28 x86_64, 4.19.2 kernel) named "pkg-config" is being called in a config operation, but when called, it continually outputs the following every few seconds:
/bin/sh: warning: shell level (1000) too high, resetting to 1
If I do "ps -e" in another tty, it shows hundreds of instances of "pkgconf" running. If I manually kill one of these processes, the output on the originating tty is as follows:
/usr/bin/pkgconf: line 5: <pid> Terminated PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR:-$DEFAULT_PKG_LIBDIR PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=$PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR:-$DEFAULT_PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR $PKGCONFIGDIR/pkgconf $@
However, they continue spawning, as the process forking continues above the one I kill, so I still run out of memory. I can't uninstall it, as yum states systemd relies on it, and a "yum reinstall" didn't fix the issue. I don't know what to do. The reinstall didn't fix it, so it might be boned stock.

Did you domake -jwithout specifying a numerical argument to the-jflag?
– Kusalananda
Nov 26 at 23:21
@Kusalananda "./configure --enable-local". Behavior happens when I just pass "pkgconf" on the command line too.

And what program are you attempting to compile?
– Kusalananda
Nov 27 at 6:03
crosstool-ng. Because I need toolchains for other things to make Linux for other things.
