While this isn't an answer to your main question, building
bash-5.2.37 should only require adding '-std=gnu17'
to CFLAGS. That's what the Fedora builds did when the
recent release added gcc-15:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bash/blob/ddaa95f/f/bash.spec#_141-143
It's likely that other projects will take some time to catch
up and make releases which don't trip over the same issue,
so it may well be helpful to set -std=gnu17 for those which
aren't quite ready to support the defaults from the gcc-15.
