[Bug 2085848] Re: db5.3: FTBFS in oracular !amd64 because of implicit-int

[Graham Inggs]

Hi Timo, the "Fix FTBFS because of implicit-int" patch fixed configure
tests and enabled the package to build successfully on non-amd64
architectures.

However, it missed fixing a configure test that changed behaviour of the
package.

This can be seen in the succeeding amd64 build log from the Oracular
test rebuild (with GCC 14):

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-
rebuild-20240912-oracular/+sourcepub/16444552/+listing-archive-extra

which contains:

checking for 64-bit integral type support for sequences... no

compared to the previous amd64 build log from Noble (with GCC 13):

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/db5.3/5.3.28+dfsg2-7

which contains:

checking for 64-bit integral type support for sequences... yes

Title:
  db5.3: FTBFS in oracular !amd64 because of implicit-int

Status in db5.3 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in db5.3 source package in Oracular:
  Fix Committed
Status in db5.3 source package in Plucky:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * The compiler flag "-Wimplicit-int" is causing some configure steps
  to fail resulting in build from source failures on archs other than
  amd64

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Build on other platforms and test that it works
   * Verify that the build log contains:
     checking for 64-bit integral type support for sequences... yes

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * Probably low risk since we only touch the build system.
     There shouldn't be any functional change, the fix only modernizes the C code.

  [ Other Info ]

  The corresponding Debian bug report is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084782

  This is fixed in Debian sid with:
   db5.3 (5.3.28+dfsg2-8) unstable; urgency=medium

     * QA upload

     [ Samuel Thibault ]
     * control: Generalize hurd-i386 into hurd-any.

     [ Bastian Germann ]
     * Fix FTBFS because of implicit-int (Closes: #1084782)
     * Fix OPD checkpoint deadlock (Closes: #932758)
