Looks like someone applied a patch to make xfce4-cpufreq-plugin build under GCC 10 and it broke the package completely. It crashes immediately. The patch is: sed -i 's/CpuFreqPlugin \*cpuFreq/extern CpuFreqPlugin \*cpuFreq/' panel-plugin/xfce4-cpufreq-plugin.h I'm filing this bug report under GCC (that's NOT a mistake) because the xfce4-cpufreq-plugin maintainer is seemingly MIA. I believe Fedora GCC maintainers can figure out why the patch is wrong and how to fix the package properly. Please don't let it linger for half a year as it too often happens. I'm not a C programmer, so I have no idea why the patch doesn't work and how to fix it.
I tried CC'ing Mukundan Ragavan who wrote a patch but he's not registered here.
Upstream has no patches for the issue: https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-cpufreq-plugin The code was last updated in 2019.
Mukundan Ragavan has resurfaced. Closing. Sorry for the noise.
Someone should fix the proposed patch and send to upstream.

Wouldn't it have been better to ask for help on the devel@ mailing list instead of filing a bug under the wrong component? "This isn't a GCC bug but I want GCC maintainers to fix it for me" is not how bug reports work.
