+Subject: [PATCH] Increase awk/sed command limit to prevent line wrapping
+
+Autoconf 2.70+ wraps long variable assignments in config.status
+using backslash-newline continuations. This breaks when LDFLAGS
+or other variables contain special characters.
+
+In OE, buildpaths will be part of flags such as LDFLAGS or CFLAGS
+and they might end up being linewrapped now. OE recipes do have
+mechanisms to scrub the absolute paths for achieving reproducibility
+which fails when linwrapping happens as the strings get divided and
+the checks for scrubbing become ineffective.
+
+Increase _AC_SED_CMD_LIMIT from 99 and _AC_AWK_LITERAL_LIMIT
+from 148 to 4000 to prevent wrapping.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE-Specific]
