Subject: 29.3; GCC14.1 MinGW compilation error
Date: Sun, 12 May 2024 09:29:02 +0200

I wanted to check how the MinGW related issues #63365 and #63752 behave
under GCC 14.1, however I did not get that far. Running the following:


git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git
cd emacs
./autogen.sh
./configure
make


I get the error:

Currently I'm on commit 67b1da215c9. According to the GCC 14 porting
page "It is no longer possible to call a function that has not been
declared", so I guess that's the issue here. I've noticed that in
src/syswait.c, <sys/wait.h> is only included if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H is
defined, which it isn't. If I do include <sys/wait.h> nonetheless in
this file, the compilation continues.

For the record, I run into an internal compiler issue in thread.c
after that, but that's not on emacs to solve I guess.
