+Subject: [PATCH] Use an installed path in the gflags_completions.h usage
+ example
+
+The example .bashrc line in gflags_completions.h points at
+/home/build/eng/bash/bash_completions.sh, a path from the original build
+environment that names a script gflags does not ship. Refer to the
+installed gflags_completions.sh instead, matching the example in
+gflags_completions.sh itself.
+
+The old path also trips reproducibility checks that look for build-host
+home directories in installed files, e.g. Yocto's buildpaths QA check:
+
+  File /usr/include/gflags/gflags_completions.h in package gflags-dev
+  contains a reference to the build host HOME directory. [buildpaths]
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
