Seen in build.log of app-editors/emacs-29.3-r1: checking type of array argument to getgroups... ./configure: line 34171: test: =: unary operator expected gid_t AFAICS the culprit is in line 271 of lib/autoconf/types.m4: AS_IF([test $ac_cv_type_gid_t = no], This fails when $ac_cv_type_gid_t is empty.
It's nuanced, actually! Please check out the https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2024-02/msg00000.html thread.

Thanks for the pointer. I'm going to backport that fix, eventually. (Probably together with the patch for bug 930086.)
Thanks. Also, sorry, normally, I would give you a heads up about something affecting a package of yours, but I assumed Paul was just going to backport it to 29 and then no point worrying about it, but that didn't happen.
