Ayush Yadav created an issue:
https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/tools/rtems-source-builder/-/issues/174
## Summary
The `texinfo-7.0.3` package fails to build on newer toolchains (GCC 16). The
issue stems from a conflict in `system.h` where `strerror` is declared with an
empty parameter list (`extern char *strerror ();`), which conflicts with the
standard library's `string.h` declaration (`extern char *strerror (int);`).
Modern GCC versions now treat this prototype mismatch as a hard error rather
than a warning.
I tried resolving the errors by manually packaging `dtc` from upstream and
updating the hash, which resulted into build process proceeding further until
it hits `texinfo` which suffers the same fate due to newer GCC version. I
suspect other packages might be affected as well.
**Environment:**
* **OS:** Fedora 44
* **Compiler:** GCC 16
