hello
I actually don't know if this is a real problem with 5.1-alpha or if
it's something related to my environment and/or build procedure
The problem is the following
If I paste in a terminal running 5.1-alpha a string stored in the primary X
selection, the string is inserted in reverse video

hello
Apologies if I am missing some blatant point here
I have noticed a difference in behavior of bash-5.2.26 and
bash-5.3-alpha which isn't a problem of correctness, but may be wasn't
intentional(?)
Given the scriptlett:
8<
#!/bin/sh
set -x
show () {
cat < ./scriptlett.sh

so that is definitely intentional and everything is now clear to me
thanks a lot for your time

The reason seems to be the installdirs target in Makefile.in missing to
create $(DESTDIR)$(pkgconfigdir).
This fixes things for me:
