-Subject: [PATCH] libuuid/src/gen_uuid.c: fix cs_min declaration
-
-Define cs_min through a define and not a const int to avoid the
-following build failure with -O0 raised since version 2.39 and
-https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/2fa4168c8bc9d5438bc1dfadda293c7c21b6fa59:
-
-libuuid/src/gen_uuid.c: In function 'uuid_generate_time_generic':
-libuuid/src/gen_uuid.c:536:33: error: initializer element is not constant
-  THREAD_LOCAL int  cache_size = cs_min;
-                                 ^~~~~~
-
-For consistency, also use define for cs_max and cs_factor
