Now, I am happy to accept that building it inside oe-core is somewhat

exaggerate the extent to which "old code" equals "problematic code".
Yes, the pain is entirely in the autoreconf step. It's not a huge job,
and it's probably easier to just delete it all and start again from
scratch...
I also have at least a passing fondness for lrzsz and if a small amount
of maintenance now will suffice to keep it working for another 21 years
then I think I would consider that a good outcome. I will have a quick
look at the code and see if I can fix whatever is apparently problematic
about it.
Please do!
Debian has a pile of patches too:

All hail the new maintainer of lrzsz. :)
