[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Looks like something is wrong in just release 3.10 because test suite is
failing in one unit

FAIL: test-strtoll
==================

test-strtoll.c:290: assertion 'ptr == input + 1' failed
FAIL test-strtoll (exit status: 134)

I don't have that problem when I run the tests on Fedora 38 x86-64. What 
platform are you using, and how did you configure it?

I do see a potential on the Gnulib side, which I attempted to fix by 
installing the attached (and I'll cc bug-gnulib).

This is a Gnulib issue not a diffutils issue per se, so I wouldn't worry 
about it as far as diffutils go.

Possibly the reporter is using a glibc git checkout, and is encountering
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30371 .

The last thing I heard regarding this bug (from 2023-04-18), is that
Adhemerval Zanella wanted to handle it. But I see no handling of this
bug in libc-alpha so far.

It would be a pity if glibc 2.38 would be released with this bug,
because it forces a gnulib override of strtol and strtoll.
