I give up. I don't understand the messages.
I got these same messages yesterday and the xz file did not show up.
I tried it again today, and I believed these messages.
I also just now got confirmation that the files are there and
I checked. They are there. Beats heck out of me.

Paul's points are valid as a generic thing. But they aren't the key
points for considering changes to libc.
The entire discussion about maximum usable size is unnecessary
fritter. We already have __libc_use_alloca, alloca_account,
etc. (include/alloca.h) to govern that decision for libc code.
