Thanks for the work you are doing for better portability.

There is a bug in the test tools which seems to show uop only on 32 bit
systems.  Unfortunately we do not yet have a 32 bit platform in our
jenkins.

We decided to do that because 2.1 was anyway a big cut and thus a good
opportunity to get rid of old compatibility code.

I created bug 2886 to track this.

Regarding all these build failures: Might they be due to a C99
requirement we now have in dirmngr and wrong flags passed to allow C99
in cc?  It is possible to disable the use of C99 with the
--disable-libdns configure option.
