These changes in Configure and game.c fix the errors with gcc 14

The package does not build with gcc 14 (as of May 13, 2024). make stops at game.c 412 "implicit declaration of function getopt" My workaround consists in installing gcc13, then: ./Configure --cc gcc-13; make The build runs without errors then.

Thanks for the info @seanh - I've hopefully fixed it, and merged in a new version while I was at it. Let me know if this fixes your problem.

Unfortunately, this package doesn't compile on the latest state of Arch. Possibly caused by backwards compatibility issues with recent version of GCC or GNU make. I don't know. Verified the bug on a docker image of arch too, so it's not just my machine.
