Bug 2336278

I'm experimentally rebuilding rawhide with the not-yet-released GCC 15 to see if anything breaks, and to help write the porting guide.  See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dmalcolm/gcc-15

My test build with GCC 15 failed:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dmalcolm/gcc-15-smoketest-3.failed/build/8476073/

whereas my test build with GCC 14 succeeded:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dmalcolm/gcc-15-smoketest-3.failed.checker/build/8477652/

Looking at the failure logs e.g.
https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/dmalcolm/gcc-15-smoketest-3.failed/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08476073-alsa-tools/builder-live.log.gz

I see:

This is probably due to GCC 15 now defaulting to -std=gnu23, whereas GCC 14 defaulted to -std=gnu17, and C23 is stricter about function prototypes than C17.  It's probably fixable by fixing the function prototypes (or by manually adding -std=gnu17 to the C build flags)



Reproducible: Always
