Dear Maintainer,
See buildbot output:
https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/270/builds/8114/steps/3/logs/stdio
Whether or not generated configure file is correct, it's inconsistent with
output generated by vanilla autoconf version 2.69 and it triggers buildbot
failures.
that is
debian/patches/avoid-undefined-behavior-for-32bit-off_t.patch:
the patch is also in Debian's autoconf (2.72) package, apparently never
forwarded.
Description: Fix undefined behavior for 32-bit off_t.
autoconf (2.69-6) unstable; urgency=low
.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4: Use ((off_t) 1 << 31) << 31 in place of
(off_t) 1 << 62 to avoid undefined behavior when off_t is 32-bit.
Closes: #742780. Thanks to Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org> for
reporting this bug.
