Bug#963602: gftl: please make the build reproducible

Source: gftl
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
gftl could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it calls out to m4 during the build with the
--synclines/-s argument, resulting in absolute filenames in the
generated files:

  │ │ │ -#line 1 "/build/1st/gftl-1.2.5/include/types/../templates/header.m4"
  │ │ │ +#line 1 "/build/2/gftl-1.2.5/2nd/include/types/../templates/header.m4"

Patch attached that drops these "-s" arguments.
