Thanks for analysis and the pointer! How can I trigger that without
gnulib's config.h? Shouldn't the following cause a compilation error?
$ podman run -it gcc:latest
root@18544d251872:/# cat>foo.c
int main (void) {
int true = 42;
return true;
}
^D
root@18544d251872:/# gcc --version

I changed the variable names here instead.
