Package: gawk Version: 1:4.1.1+dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist Usertags: goto-cc During a rebuild of all packages in a clean sid chroot (and cowbuilder+pbuilder) the build failed with the following error. Please note that we use our research compiler tool-chain (using tools from the cbmc package), which permits extended reporting on type inconsistencies at link time.

Fixing the forward declaration will ensure no one inadvertently uses the non-existent return value. Best, Michael
