The gcc breakage is harmless (it fails to build some documentation files, but |
| 17 |
ignores that and continues the build); we have a patch, which will be bumped |
| 18 |
to stable after some "just to be safe" testing. (The unkeyworded versions of |
| 19 |
5.4 and 4.9.4.) gcc-6 and later is already fixed upstream. |

Autoconf is not so harmless, but the current newest ~arch version contains the |
| 22 |
fix already. |
