This is not a loop. If you look closely you see

  autoreconf: Leaving directory `gb.db.mysql'
  [...]
  autoreconf: Entering directory `gb.db.odbc'
  [...]
  autoreconf: Leaving directory `gb.db.odbc'
  [...]
  autoreconf: Entering directory `gb.db.postgresql'

It's configuring all the Gambas components which takes a long time.
You didn't even make it through the reconf stage :-)
