Hi, is any chance to build 32-bit version of libcob.so and libcobdb.so on x64?

The culprit in local CFLAGS is '-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3'. This seems to be too strict. Upstream uses 2, and with 2 it does indeed pass the tests.

Thanks!

I haven't dug deeper to find the culprit, but I find that including local CFLAGS causes many tests to fail:

With local CFLAGS

## ---------------------------------------- ##
## GnuCOBOL 4.0 test suite: GnuCOBOL Tests. ##
## ---------------------------------------- ##
...
## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##
## ------------- ##

ERROR: 1396 tests were run,
928 failed (26 expected failures).
14 tests were skipped.

Without local CFLAGS

## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##
## ------------- ##

1395 tests behaved as expected.
15 tests were skipped.

Hi, this does not build for me.

Should be fixed now.

Hi, this does not build for me.

After adding "CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types" to the configure line, I get the following kind of errors:

call.c:1418:14: error: too many arguments to function 'unifunc.funcint'; expected 0, have 188
 1418 |         i =  unifunc.funcint (pargv[0], pargv[1], pargv[2], pargv[3]
