For these 3 warnings I already suggested a patch: mingw32-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Og -g3 -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS -I. -I../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/../include -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wc++-compat -Wstrict-prototypes -pedantic ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/strerror.c -o strerror.o In file included from ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/strerror.c:31:0: ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/strerror.c:472:12: warning: '_sys_nerr' redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored [-Wattributes] extern int sys_nerr; ^ ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/strerror.c:473:14: warning: '_sys_errlist' redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored [-Wattributes] extern char *sys_errlist[]; ^ mingw32-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Og -g3 -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS -I. -I../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/../include -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wc++-compat -Wstrict-prototypes -pedantic ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/setenv.c -o setenv.o ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/setenv.c:66:1: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes] extern char **environ; ^
Those patches were approved, respectively, in https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-01/msg00484.html and in https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00598.html I guess people who approved them thought I had write access to the master libiberty repo, which I don't. Please, could someone commit those for me, so I don't have to fix this by hand forever? Thanks in advance. The 3rd warning is AFAIR new: mingw32-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Og -g3 -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS -I. -I../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/../include -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wc++-compat -Wstrict-prototypes -pedantic ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/d-demangle.c -o d-demangle.o ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/d-demangle.c: In function 'dlang_parse_real': ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/d-demangle.c:885:3: warning: unknown conversion type character 'L' in format [-Wformat=] len = snprintf (buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%#Lg", value); ^ ../../binutils-2.25/libiberty/d-demangle.c:885:3: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args] The usual way of fixing this is to use -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO cpp flag, which triggers redirection of stdio routines to ANSI compliant versions in the MinGW library, instead of using the Microsoft runtime which doesn't support printing long double values. I suggest that the configure script automatically turns that cpp flag on for MinGW. While trying to resolve this issue without changing the configure scripts, I configured with CPPFLAGS='-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO', but for some strange reason this didn't help: the CPPFLAGS setting of the Makefile's in the subdirectories stayed empty. Why doesn't that work? What did I miss? (I eventually worked around this by sneaking that -D switch through CFLAGS.)
