The component fails to build with autoconf 2.72 due to its use of Autoconf internal variables in its configure.ac file. the following section needs to be adapted (or better removed): dnl ************************************* dnl *** Checks for large file support *** dnl ************************************* AC_ARG_ENABLE([largefile], AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-largefile], [enable support for large files [[default=yes]]]),, [enable_largefile="yes"]) [...] if test "x$ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits" != "xno"; then LFS_CFLAGS="$LFS_CFLAGS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=$ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits" enable_largefile="yes" fi else LFS_CFLAGS="" fi AM_CONDITIONAL(ENABLE_LARGEFILE, test "x$enable_largefile" = "xyes") The main problem of this section being the check against `$ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits` which no longer exists. Leading to further failures. AC_SYS_LARGEFILE will define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS if necessary. Reproducible: Always
