Need to add -Wno-error=implicit-int" toCFLAGSin order to make./configure` succeeding.

Otherwise, it errors with 

=> Starting build()...
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=native -mtune=native -O3 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -flto=auto -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now -flto=auto) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Also more things are needed to be added to CFLAGS in order to make further build working.

I got it working by addint the following to build(): 

  local _NOWARNINGS=("implicit-int" "implicit-function-declaration" "unused-result")
  local _CFLAGSADDITIONS=''
  for _nowarning in "${_NOWARNINGS[@]}"; do
    _CFLAGSADDITIONS+=" -Wno-${_nowarning} -Wno-error=${_nowarning}"
  done
  CFLAGS+="${_CFLAGSADDITIONS}"

  local _C_STD="c18"
  CFLAGS+=" -std=${_C_STD}"

  export CFLAGS

Also the license identifier needs to be made SPDX compliant.

Was this maliciously taken over as well?

EDIT: Looks as if the maintainer was already banned?

Hello! There is an error compiling Tiger, the GCC returns errors. In the "configure" script file, the "int" in main() function seems necessary. Implicit int ("error: return type defaults to 'int' [-Wimplicit-int]") is not working on GCC compilation.

There is a most recent version https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/tiger/tiger_3.2.4rc1.tar.gz

Tiger breaks Arch directory scheme utilizing /var/run which is now symlinked to /run. Need to change configure variable accordingly. - --with-tigerwork=/var/run/tiger \ + --with-tigerwork=/run/tiger \

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) tiger: /var/run exists in filesystem on install.
