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.
