Following this change I see the following error during bootstrap:
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure:18862: error: undefined or overquoted macro: gl_MUSL_LIBC
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
./bootstrap: autoreconf failed
That is in a project of mine that builds a dynamic module for Emacs, but
I was able to reproduce the same error in a dummy reproducer project
with only the following change:
diff --git a/bootstrap.conf b/bootstrap.conf
index 52f4fdf..4ac6e8a 100644

Here's the full recipe:
0. cd "$(mktemp -d)"
1. git clone 'https://git.sr.ht/~blc/foo'
2. cd foo && ./bootstrap
Hopefully the cause is more obvious to you, as I won't be able to look
into this for another week or two, sorry.
Thanks,
