Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:11 jmroot]:
 > 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).

 Yep for sure; I purposely left this ticket open, as the initial fix is
 intended to stop the bleeding on x86.

 I'm now looking at potential code patches, to see if it's a simple matter
 of correcting header inclusion.
