Well, you patched the configure script as a work-around. ;)

[...]

The build.log points to sloppy strncpy/strncat usage. A buffer
overflow is triggered if the length of the constructed output
file path grows over 1024 characters:

text.c: In function 'main':
text.c:167: warning: ignoring return value of 'scanf', declared with attribute
w
arn_unused_result
In function 'strncat',
    inlined from 'main' at text.c:255:
/usr/include/bits/string3.h:153: warning: call to __builtin___strncat_chk might 
overflow destination buffer
