Howdy,I'm attempting to build coreutils on a Fedora 44 system and have run into some problems. Here is a file created from a build log. I have the complete log available if needed. I tried the Fedora 44 gcc as well as a locally built gcc from the gcc repo. Same problem exists. Am I doing something wrong? Can you point me in the "right" direction please? Best regards, George... ./lib/stdlib.h:807:20: error: expected identifier or '(' before '_Generic' ./lib/wchar.h:841:23: error: expected identifier or '(' before '_Generic'
So using GCC 16. I did see some posts to gnulib recently re GCC 16 and language levels, and also some recent gnulib tweaks re _Generic support, so CC'ing gnulib. Note coreutils 9.9 is using gnulib from Nov 2025. It would be good to test if this is already addressed with a gnulib (7606f1f2) from a couple of days ago using: wget https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-9.9.192-6b32a.tar.xz tar -xf coreutils-9.9.192-6b32a.tar.xz cd coreutils-9.9.192-6b32a ./configure --quiet && make -j $(nproc) thank you, Padraig
