Greetings,
What will soon be released as gcc 5.0 has been imported into Fedora
and is now being used to build packages for Fedora Rawhide. Bigloo
4.1a-2 fails to build with gcc 5.0. The reason appears to be that
-Wimplicit-int is now on by default, and the check for -fpic runs with
-Werror in CFLAGS. This causes that check to fail, so bigloo is built
without -fpic, which leads to a lilnker failure when the shared
objects are to be linked.
Can the code be updated to explicitly supply a type in all cases?
Failing that, please don't use -Werror. Here is a patch for the -fpic
problem:

The same problem will probably happen with autoconf/rdynamic, which
also uses -Werror. Regards,
