I saw that a2ps had been having build issues and so disabled recently by @iMichka
It is true that the a2ps project itself is long-dormant, but it does seem that it mostly has been continuing to work. Anyway, I dug in to the build failure that we've been seeing with other old
./configure
scripts we've been having with Xcode 12 (see #65954 for another example I recently fixed)This compiles fine for me on Big Sur now; hopefully this will bottle OK now.
