 > Pardon my ignorance but why can't this issue be solved like this
 comment:ticket:70755:11 instead of going back to developers of kermit?

 That ticket worked around the problem in that port by downgrading the
 errors back to warnings again. But compiler makers deliberately upgraded
 these warnings to errors in recent years because they are bad programming
 practices, already disallowed by the 1999 version of the C standard over a
 quarter century ago. Future compilers might not allow this error to be
 downgraded. The best solution is to fix the code. The people to do that
 are the developers of the software so the problem needs to be reported to
 them so that they can do that and release a fixed stable version.
