Re: [PATCH 07/14 v6] Prevent the rtld mapfile computation from dragging in __stack_chk_fail*.

patch (also fixed) are the only places where I overflow lines that are
fixable (configure.ac is more or less not fixable, AIUI).

Why is configure.ac not fixable? E.g., in this patch:

+	      AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-stack-protector=@<:@yes|no|all|strong@:>@],
+			     [Use -fstack-protector[-all|-strong] to detect glibc buffer overflows]),


The commentary can contain folded lines without problem (the extra indenting is removed), and the first line can be moved down, e.g.,

  AC_HELP_STRING(
    [--enable-stack-protector=@<:@yes|no|all|strong@:>@],
    [Use -fstack-protector[-all|-strong] to detect glibc
     buffer overflows]),
