Note that I did a test build on the AB and there was one failure:

| In file included from ./base/genconf.c:18:
| ./base/stdpre.h:350:13: error: two or more data types in declaration 
specifiers
|   350 | typedef int bool;
|       |             ^~~~


This was building native code in the cross build, on alma8.

I’m not sure if this was a weird bug that has existed for some time on some 
hosts but uninative hides it, or the same but new with autoconf 2.73.

I shall look into this, but I wanted to get the patches on the list.
