thank you for pointing to this answer.

One question comes to mind: why couldn't be the option
filename-length-max=99 default if tar-v7 is used?

If the automake check for names longer than 99 would be on by default,
the error message could mention tar-ustar.

This would help people who stumble over this problem in future.

Alexandre, would you like this solution?

With kind regards,
