Hi!
On Fedora Linux with gcc 16.2.1, building the tools (build.sh tools) for
the netbsd-11 branch fails in texinfo, which is still built with the host
compiler.
The errors are all around function prototypes, like this:
/home/bsiegert/src/NetBSD-src/tools/texinfo/../../external/gpl2/texinfo/dist/makeinfo/cmds.c:63:10:
error: initialization of 'void (*)(void)' from incompatible pointer type
'void (*)(int, int, int)' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
63 | { ",", cm_accent_cedilla, MAYBE_BRACE_ARGS },
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/home/bsiegert/src/NetBSD-src/tools/texinfo/../../external/gpl2/texinfo/dist/makeinfo/cmds.c:63:10:
note: (near initialization for 'command_table[7].proc')
/home/bsiegert/src/NetBSD-src/tools/texinfo/../../external/gpl2/texinfo/dist/makeinfo/lang.h:143:6:
note: 'cm_accent_cedilla' declared here
143 | cm_accent_cedilla (int arg, int start, int end),
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a fix by oster@ in December 2025, which was pulled up to NetBSD
10 (https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/req-10.cgi?show=1219) and netbsd-9
but not netbsd-11, as far as I can tell.
I filed https://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/req-11.cgi?show=446, as I
imagine this was just an oversight.
