A while loop is used in a make recipe. It depends on the exit status of a single command so far.
How do you think about to use more conditions so that this approach can be limited on demand?

Are you worried about an infinite loop or something else? So far I haven't heard any reports of the while
loop failing to terminate...

Would you find any higher number of rebuild tries "special" or "unusual"?
ransford commented
I don't know the number. Maybe N
where N
is the number of different tools that touch the .aux
file as part of typesetting?
