| fix_glibc_2.43_build_failures.patch | Fix build failures with glibc >= 2.43 This fixes build failures that have glibc 2.43 installed as it is currently available in Debian experimental: smcroute fails to build from source with glibc 2.43, currently in experimental. From the build log: | smcrouted.c: In function ‘progname’: | smcrouted.c:342:12: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers] | 342 | nm = strrchr(arg0, '/'); | | ^ | smcroutectl.c: In function ‘progname’: | smcroutectl.c:497:12: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers] | 497 | nm = strrchr(arg0, '/'); | | ^ | cc1: all warnings being treated as errors | make[3]: *** [Makefile:513: smcrouted-smcrouted.o] Error 1 | make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... | cc1: all warnings being treated as errors | make[3]: *** [Makefile:499: smcroutectl-smcroutectl.o] Error 1 | make[3]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/smcroute-2.5.7/src' | make[2]: *** [Makefile:505: all-recursive] Error 1 | make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/smcroute-2.5.7' | make[1]: *** [Makefile:367: all] Error 2 | make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/smcroute-2.5.7' | dh_auto_build: error: make -j128 returned exit code 2 | make: *** [debian/rules:25: binary] Error 25 | dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess failed with exit status 2 The full build log is available here [1]. This was initially reported by Aurelien Jarno as Debian bug #1128751 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1128751 The issue is due to ISO C23 declaration of bsearch, memchr, strchr, strpbrk, strrchr, strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr, which now returns a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is a pointer to a const-qualified type [2]. The commit fixes the build failure by using const-qualified char pointers. This works also in older build environments as they are used as read-only variables anyways.
