build failure due to gnu11 change: -Wimplicit-int is turned on by
default now,
which is the reason these packages didn't compile properly. See the
porting_to
document for more details.
The bigloo failure had nothing to do with -Wimplicit-int. One file
that should have been compiled with -fPIC wasn't. I don't know why
this didn't cause problems before. Fixed in Rawhide.
IIRC bigloo contains various "autoconf" shell scripts with K&R code in
them (that fail with -Werror now)
Remove these -Werrors and tell upstream to not use -Werror.
-Werror turns harmless warnings into errors.
As autoconf scripts are based on compilers issuing errors only on real
errors and not on otherwise harmless warnings, -Werror is not useful
with autoconf scripts and is _guaranteed_ to break autoconf scripts,
because the items GCC warns about are changing with each GCC-release and
also depend on other factors (CFLAGS) in effect.
