Description Florian Weimer 2023-04-17 06:37:59 UTC 
The configure script has many C89isms in it, so the package will not build correctly with future compilers. Given the unclear upstream state, I prefer not to spend efforts on fixing this, and we should build star in C89 mode.

config.guess runs the compiler without passing any flags, so that part at least needs to be fixed.

Reproducible: Always
