Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v2] package/m4: fix build failure with gcc 15
Date: Sat,  3 May 2025 16:52:09 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250503135217.490404-2-zik@jambula.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250503135217.490404-1-zik@jambula.net>

This is a temporary workaround to address build issues with host-m4 when using GCC 15, as encountered on
the recently released Fedora 42. The issue stems from stricter compiler behavior introduced in recent
versions of GCC.

A proper fix has already been committed upstream and will be included in the next release of GNU m4:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/m4.git/commit/?h=branch-1.4&id=a22c9802dd7e724eaefb21dc21d84ac2d3a49c89

Until that version is available in buildroot, this patch ensures continued compatibility and successful
builds.
