Going through the release version of BLFS7.9. I notice the fix for JSON-C
dropping out of make with an "unused variable" warning in json_tokener.c.
BLFS fixes this by disabling -Werror on the whole build. The day after
0.12 was released there was a commit for this that removed the unused
variable, allowing Make to finish, which seems like a more elegant fix.
Works either way.

We can't keep up with a package's development repository. Not enough
resources.
We will be able to pick this up with their next stable release.

Please don't top post.
Don't get me wrong. We appreciate posts like yours. It's just that there
are a lot of major updates going on and the fix you propose requires a
patch and we prefer to avoid those. The current instructions work and the
change needed from our point of (building) view is more complex than what
we have now.
