gambit 4.9.2 does not compile on linux any more

I just tried to rebuild my toolchain and sumbld across this problem: gambitc 4.9.2 does not compile any more with latest gcc. 4gambit 4.7.9 still compiles fine.

The compilation breaks with these lines (and from there on a lot of following errors):

Is there an obvious patch in https://github.com/gambit/gambit we can backport? From a quick glance at https://github.com/gambit/gambit/blob/d2c2b46e69da1c5fc6ec8946bdc4e1e94479f961/lib/os_io.c#L4799 where this might be coming from this piece of code hasn't been changed for seven years (commit gambit/gambit@353eec7)

Please look again, the error is some lines above:

os_io.c:4649:1: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
 4649 | } ___device_tcp_addr;
      | ^

... but I don't have a clue jet :)

To clearify: gambit 4.9.2 compiles fine on it's own.

The first bug is introduced in the IPv6 patch from lambdanative:

lambdanative/libraries/libgambit/fix_IPv6.patch

Line 52 in 5a73d44

+ struct sockaddr_in6 in6

it's missing the ; at the end of the line.

But this only solves the first error, others still persist:

I fixed the missing semicolon but don't know about the other piece. @0-8-15 could you please take a look as you introduced the IPv6 patch originally? Thanks!

I just removed both libraries/libgambit/fix_IPv6* and gambit 4.9.2 compiles fine again.

Please note: these libraries/libgambit/fix_IPv6* patches also break compiltion of android target (clang14), but later in the process with an error due to not finding a generated gambit_SOMELONGNUMBER.h file.

So with the fix_IOv6 patches removed gambit 4.9.2 compiles and works works as it should.
