Subject: build failure on Windows with MinGW-w64 GCC 14.1
Date: Sat, 18 May 2024 12:55:02 +0100

Emacs fails to build on Windows with the current MSYS2 GCC 14.1 toolchain.

TL;DR: -Werror=implicit-function-declaration is now the default.
Please see <https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html>. This breaks
the test for "sys/wait.h" in "./configure".

The error is:
  CC       sysdep.o
sysdep.c: In function 'get_child_status':
sysdep.c:479:13: error: implicit declaration of function 'waitpid'
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

      | ^
make[2]: *** [Makefile:452: sysdep.o] Error 1

With the previous GCC 13.2 toolchain the build succeeds. The relevant
parts of the two builds' config.log are below, followed by a diff of
the output of "./configure".
Note that -Werror=implicit-function-declaration is now the default.
Please see <https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html>.

Thanks for testing, I'm therefore closing this bug.
