Fixed pushed into 0.16.21-9. gcc-15 changed the default standard to gnu23. Just adding -std=gnu99 will make gcc-15 happy. This is the standard intended by the original developers.

Builds fine with gcc-14 (add gcc14 to makedepends), add export CC='gcc-14' in build. I don't thing gcc 15 will ever love such old code with K&R prototypes and changing it might break things.

Fixes pushed into 0.16.21-8

I do no longer use this, so disowned. (Same for bin86...) Feel free to adopt and fix it yourself.

Doesn't bulild as of today. I applied the following steps to build:

• Add patches from Fedora, just paste them into 0001-mandir.patch: Note it's necessary to update the sha256 in PKGBUILD
