GCC 15 defaults to '-std=gnu23' which leads to Guile failing to build
after running './configure && make'. This is because C23 made:

    int foo ();

equal to:

   int foo (void);

Unlike previous C standards where it was just a function with
unspecified arguments.

I have attached a patch that fixes this.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix build with C23 compilers.

* libguile/scm.h (scm_t_subr): Always define to void pointer.  Update
commentary to account for C23.
* libguile/lightening/lightening.h (jit_function_pointer_t): Define to a
void pointer.
* libguile/init.c (scm_boot_guile): Add prototype to main_func.
* libguile/hash.c (floor): Add function prototype.
* libguile/posix.c (scm_getpgrp): Just call the system definition
directly.
* libguile/array-map.c (scm_ramapc): Cast the function pointer with the
correct number of arguments.
* libguile/gsubr.c (scm_apply_subr): Likewise.
(scm_c_make_gsubr, scm_c_define_gsubr, scm_c_make_gsubr_with_generic)
scm_c_define_gsubr_with_generic): Use scm_t_subr for the fcn argument
which matches the declarations in libguile/gsubr.h.
* libguile/fluids.c (scm_c_with_fluids, scm_with_fluid): Add function
prototype to cproc.
* libguile/smob.c (apply_0, apply_1, apply_2, apply_3): Cast the
function with the correct number of arguments.
(scm_set_smob_apply): Use scm_t_subr for the apply argument which
patches libguile/smob.h.
