Greetings, and thanks for the heads up. I had been waiting on finding enough time to concentrate on removing the std=gnu17 flag to support C23 and arm macs, but I will likely not have this window for a few months. Perhaps it would be best to push this into 2.7.3 and get 2.7.2 out as is more quickly.
