Hello, I'm watching bug-gnulib. It is strange that only i386 has the problem, but amd64 do not.
FYI. When building autogen-5.19.96 on Solaris 11.3 x86/x64, make error is detected only with i386. With amd64 (CC='gcc -m64') make & make check passes. $ ./configure CC=gcc $ make : /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -O2 -m32 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I../autoopts -DPKGDATADIR='"/opt/local/share/autogen"' -Wno-format-contains-nul -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Werror -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wextra -Wno-cast-qual -Wno-format-contains-nul -fno-strict-aliasing -c -o libopts_la-libopts.lo `test -f 'libopts.c' || echo './'`libopts.c libtool: compile: gcc -O2 -m32 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I../autoopts "-DPKGDATADIR=\"/opt/local/share/autogen\"" -Wno-format-contains-nul -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Werror -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wextra -Wno-cast-qual -Wno-format-contains-nul -fno-strict-aliasing -c libopts.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libopts_la-libopts.o In file included from libopts.c:57: usage.c: In function 'prt_extd_usage': usage.c:736:38: error: 's ' directive output may be truncated writing 2 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 9 [-Werror=format-truncation=] 736 | snprintf(vfmt, sizeof(vfmt), vfmtfmt, (unsigned int)nmlen + 4); | ^~~~~~~ usage.c:736:9: note: 'snprintf' output between 9 and 18 bytes into a destination of size 12 736 | snprintf(vfmt, sizeof(vfmt), vfmtfmt, (unsigned int)nmlen + 4); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[4]: *** [Makefile:1081: libopts_la-libopts.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/tmp/autogen-5.19.96/autoopts' make[3]: *** [Makefile:1311: all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/autogen-5.19.96/autoopts' make[2]: *** [Makefile:930: all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/autogen-5.19.96/autoopts' make[1]: *** [Makefile:857: all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/autogen-5.19.96' make: *** [Makefile:764: all] Error 2 To avoid this, I have to kill -Werror option with the following patch.
