The commit referenced above broke compilation of liburing's tests. It's possible that applications will hit similar issues. Can you check whether the SIGSTKSZ change needs to be reverted/fixed before releasing glibc 2.34?

Yes, other applications have already had similar issues, and we've fixed that by recoding them to not assume that SIGSTKSZ is an integer constant expression. See, for example, this patch to Gnulib last September: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=f9e2b20a12a230efa30f1d479563ae07d276a94b This patch appears in the latest GNU grep, for example.

In that case liburing needs this patch. Stefan
