           Summary: Accidentally cross linked libraries cause endless
                    looping and eventually crash.
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: nick.smethurst at free.fr


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 
OS:          Linux

In auto project, if a project contains two libtool libraries and they are mistakenly crosslinked, KDevelop enters into an endless loop when the user types F7 to compile, and eventually crashes:

A bit of the resulting kdebug output (full directory paths not shown):

and so on ..

Maybe there should be some kind of check for this user error which prevents the crash?
