It's been another 2 weeks and this RC bug is still open. In total this RC bug
has lasted for almost a year. This doesn't look well.

I know that the proposed patch is not elegant at all (really hacky in terms of
macro processing), and I understand that upstream will be moving away from
autotools in future releases thus applying this patch might not be the ideal
choice. However, having this package FTBFS in the archive forever is
definitely not a good choice either. For example, such FTBFS might block any
future transition in the near future (e.g., openssl-3.0 as in
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-openssl.html ). I don't see
any benefit with procrastination on it.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
