Can't say I've ever built xfsprogs with "DEBUG=". I'm not sure
there's really any benefit in doing so - it's preferable to have
things like xfs_repair abort when it comes across an inconsistency
it can't handle than to continue blindly along and making a bigger
mess of the filesystem it's supposed to be fixing...

Anyway, we'll look to fix it for 3.2.1.

ISTR that was done recently by Eric, and I've run clang recently,
too.

Should be obvious, yes? Especially with the release announcement
being signed, too. As it is, release tarballs have always been signed
with the current maintainer's key, so when the maintainer changes so
does the signing key....

Cheers,

Dave.
