Source: pesign
Version: 116-8.1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs upstream
Justification: fails to build from source
User: [email protected]
Usertags: glibc-2.43
Dear maintainer(s),
pesign fails to build from source with glibc 2.43, currently in
experimental. From the build log:
| gcc -g -O2 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration
-ffile-prefix-map=/build/reproducible-path/pesign-116=.
-fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat
-Werror=format-security -mbranch-protection=standard -Wall -Wextra

The full build log is available here [1].
The issue is due to ISO C23 declaration of bsearch, memchr, strchr,
strpbrk, strrchr, strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr,
which now returns a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input
argument is a pointer to a const-qualified type [2].
I would like to thanks Emanuele Rocca for doing the archive rebuild on
a fast arm64 server.
Regards
Aurelien
