There is a typo in the comment within the Modules/Setup.stdlib.in file. The comment in 3rd line is "This file is autogenerated from Modules/Setup.stdlib.in".

but as I observed the file is auto generated from Modules/Setup.bootstrap.in file. it should be fixed

I want to fix this

Actually Modules/Setup.stdlib.in is the template file used by the makesetup to then generate Modules/Setup.stdlib. So this is, AFAIR, not a typo.

The comment is only here to indicate afterwards that the file has been autogenerated. You can also see in the comment:

# The file is not used by default yet. For testing do:
#
#     ln -sfr Modules/Setup.stdlib Modules/Setup.local
#

where the file is being referred to as Modules/Setup.stdlib. For completeness, you can see its usage in Makefile.pre.in:

Modules/Setup.bootstrap: $(srcdir)/Modules/Setup.bootstrap.in config.status
	./config.status $@

Modules/Setup.stdlib: $(srcdir)/Modules/Setup.stdlib.in config.status
	./config.status $@

Makefile Modules/config.c: Makefile.pre \
				$(srcdir)/Modules/config.c.in \
				$(MAKESETUP) \
				$(srcdir)/Modules/Setup \
				Modules/Setup.local \
				Modules/Setup.bootstrap \
				Modules/Setup.stdlib
	$(MAKESETUP) -c $(srcdir)/Modules/config.c.in \
				-s Modules \
				Modules/Setup.local \
				Modules/Setup.stdlib \
				Modules/Setup.bootstrap \
				$(srcdir)/Modules/Setup
	@mv config.c Modules
	@echo "The Makefile was updated, you may need to re-run make."

Yes, this is not a typo. This is a template for the future Setup.stdlib file:

Got it.
