-    dnl Note [autoconf assembler checks and -flto]
-    dnl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-    dnl
-    dnl Autoconf's AC_COMPILE_IFELSE macro is fragile in the case of checks
-    dnl which require that the assembler is run. Specifically, GCC does not run
-    dnl the assembler if invoked with `-c -flto`; it merely dumps its internal
-    dnl AST to the object file, to be compiled and assembled during the final
-    dnl link.
-    dnl
-    dnl This can cause configure checks like that for the
-    dnl .subsections_via_symbols directive to pass unexpected (see #16440),
-    dnl leading the build system to incorrectly conclude that the directive is
-    dnl supported.
-    dnl
-    dnl For this reason, it is important that configure checks that rely on the
-    dnl assembler failing use AC_LINK_IFELSE rather than AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
-    dnl ensuring that the assembler sees the check.

+    dnl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+    dnl
+    dnl Autoconf's AC_COMPILE_IFELSE macro is fragile in the case of checks
+    dnl which require that the assembler is run. Specifically, GCC does not run
+    dnl the assembler if invoked with `-c -flto`; it merely dumps its internal
+    dnl AST to the object file, to be compiled and assembled during the final
+    dnl link.
+    dnl
+    dnl This can cause configure checks like that for the
+    dnl .subsections_via_symbols directive to pass unexpected (see #16440),
+    dnl leading the build system to incorrectly conclude that the directive is
+    dnl supported.
+    dnl
+    dnl For this reason, it is important that configure checks that rely on the
+    dnl assembler failing use AC_LINK_IFELSE rather than AC_COMPILE_IFELSE,
+    dnl ensuring that the assembler sees the check.
