Comment (by jmroot):

 Replying to [comment:9 mascguy]:
 > In terms of where I'm currently at: Based on the compilation errors
 related to C99, my first thought was to patch the build to specify C11.
 But that alone didn't make a difference, which suggests that there's more
 to it.

 Implicit declaration is only allowed in C89 and K&R C. The correct fix is
 to provide function prototypes before calling the functions, usually by
 including an appropriate header. `-Wno-error=implicit-function-
 declaration` is no longer the default because implicit declaration is
 unsafe on arm64 (different ABI depending on what type of arguments a
 function takes).
