Hi Thomas,

For information, we noticed in Debian bug #1096727[1] that gmap
failed to build from source with Gcc 15 due to using by default
the standard C 2023.

[1]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1096727

Here is an excerpt of the build log, obtained by Matthias Klose,
on 2025-02-17:

>     7 | typedef unsigned char bool;
>       | ^~~~~~~
> In file included from ../../src/gmap_select.c:1:
> ../../src/bool.h:7:23: error: ‘bool’ cannot be defined via ‘typedef’
>     7 | typedef unsigned char bool;
>       |                       ^~~~
> ../../src/bool.h:7:23: note: ‘bool’ is a keyword with ‘-std=c23’ onwards
> ../../src/bool.h:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
>     7 | typedef unsigned char bool;
>       | ^~~~~~~
> In file included from ../../src/cpuid.h:4,
>                  from ../../src/cpuid.c:6:

I took the liberty to have a look at mitigating the build
failure and came up with a patch which you may find useful and
you will find in attachment.

Have a nice day,  :)
