The malicious code is obfuscated and can only be found in the complete download package, not in the Git distribution, which lacks the M4 macro, which triggers the backdoor build process.

Ok if that's the case, we must be safe, the code was downloaded directly from the github tag. But xz repository is now disabled, so there is no stable repository for downloading the source code.
