Comment (by ballapete):

 That's clearly understood (by me and you). My observation when testing
 Perl Modules that are built and installed via CBuilder is that exactly
 this argument is passed to the C or C++ compiler during tests, to compile
 test programmes, which does not come from the module's files. So it has to
 come out of the system, Perl 5.34 in this case. And
 `/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34/ExtUtils/CBuilder/Platform/darwin.pm` seems to
 be the culprit. (OK, I actually do not understand what this is doing, it
 is certainly not removing `-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration` from
 a list of arguments.)

 Therefore I think it is less work and overhead to leave the correction of
 `XCode 12` to those Macs that have it and remove or comment it on the
 others, make the work-around not needed. I see the same file on `Sonoma
 with Xcode 16`…
