Thanks for that.

I notice that src/make-prime-list is made even if src/primes.h
is present, is that intentional?

Also for my own reference, after a `make maintainer-clean`,
make-prime-list will best be generated with -Dwide_uint=__'unsigned __int128'

cheers,

Version 8.15 is the last one I packaged, and build went fine.

I have also tested the build of 8.17. This completed (make install) without
any noteable errors.

p.s. Thought I had submitted this days ago - but it has been sitting in my
Drafts folder. :(
