This is broken in the releases 5.2.6 to 5.4.2. A workaround

introduced the use of AC_EGREP_CPP. AC_EGREP_CPP calls
AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_EGREP]) to set the shell variable EGREP
but this was only executed if POSIX threads were enabled.
Libtool code also has AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_EGREP]) but Autoconf
omits it as AC_PROG_EGREP has already been required earlier.
Thus, if not using POSIX threads, the shell variable EGREP
would be undefined in the Libtool code in configure.
ax_pthread.m4 is fine. The bug was in configure.ac which called
AX_PTHREAD conditionally in an incorrect way. Using AS_CASE

liblzma: Avoid null pointer + 0 (undefined behavior in C).
In the C99 and C17 standards, section 6.5.6 paragraph 8 means that
adding 0 to a null pointer is undefined behavior. As of writing,
"clang -fsanitize=undefined" (Clang 15) diagnoses this. However,
I'm not aware of any compiler that would take advantage of this
when optimizing (Clang 15 included). It's good to avoid this anyway
since compilers might some day infer that pointer arithmetic implies
that the pointer is not NULL. That is, the following foo() would then
unconditionally return 0, even for foo(NULL, 0):
void bar(char *a, char *b);
int foo(char *a, size_t n)
{
bar(a, a + n);
return a == NULL;
}
In contrast to C, C++ explicitly allows null pointer + 0. So if
the above is compiled as C++ then there is no undefined behavior
in the foo(NULL, 0) call.
To me it seems that changing the C standard would be the sane
thing to do (just add one sentence) as it would ensure that a huge
amount of old code won't break in the future. Based on web searches
it seems that a large number of codebases (where null pointer + 0
occurs) are being fixed instead to be future-proof in case compilers
will some day optimize based on it (like making the above foo(NULL, 0)
return 0) which in the worst case will cause security bugs.
Some projects don't plan to change it. For example, gnulib and thus
many GNU tools currently require that null pointer + 0 is defined:
In XZ Utils null pointer + 0 issue should be fixed after this
commit. This adds a few if-statements and thus branches to avoid
null pointer + 0. These check for size > 0 instead of ptr != NULL
because this way bugs where size > 0 && ptr == NULL will likely
get caught quickly. None of them are in hot spots so it shouldn't
matter for performance.
Checking for offset != 0 instead of ptr != NULL allows GCC >= 8.1,
Clang >= 7, and Clang-based ICX to optimize it to the very same code
as ptr + offset. That is, it won't create a branch. So for hot code
this could be a good solution to avoid null pointer + 0. Unfortunately
other compilers like ICC 2021 or MSVC 19.33 (VS2022) will create a
branch from my_ptr_add().

Build: Use only the generic symbol versioning on MicroBlaze.
On MicroBlaze, GCC 12 is broken in sense that
__has_attribute(__symver__) returns true but it still doesn't
support the __symver__ attribute even though the platform is ELF
and symbol versioning is supported if using the traditional
__asm__(".symver ...") method. Avoiding the traditional method is
good because it breaks LTO (-flto) builds with GCC.
See also: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101766
For now the only extra symbols in liblzma_linux.map are the
compatibility symbols with the patch that spread from RHEL/CentOS 7.
These require the use of __symver__ attribute or __asm__(".symver ...")
in the C code. Compatibility with the patch from CentOS 7 doesn't
seem valuable on MicroBlaze so use liblzma_generic.map on MicroBlaze
instead. It doesn't require anything special in the C code and thus
no LTO issues either.
An alternative would be to detect support for __symver__
attribute in configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt and fall back
to __asm__(".symver ...") but then LTO would be silently broken
on MicroBlaze. It sounds likely that MicroBlaze is a special
case so let's treat it as a such because that is simpler. If
a similar issue exists on some other platform too then hopefully
someone will report it and this can be reconsidered.
(This doesn't do the same fix in CMakeLists.txt. Perhaps it should
but perhaps CMake build of liblzma doesn't matter much on MicroBlaze.
The problem breaks the build so it's easy to notice and can be fixed
later.)
