Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:72527 hart-NTP]:
 > It turns out this is because m4 now has the right code for Tiger and
 earlier builds already in place.

 The x86_64 and i386 parts are unchanged
 [https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/lib/sigsegv.c?id=9fc42e5f5711e501f80559539a78aed2b7c842ac#n650
 in m4's snapshot of gnulib].  Do those architectures still need `patch-m4
 -use-older-regnames-on-tiger.diff`?  Or were those parts of the patch
 unnecessary this whole time?
