Hello Vincent!

Nothing in what you pasted is an error; every line is a warning, and the build 
has succeeded. The same tree on Ubuntu with GCC 15.2 gives 1666 warnings, exit 
code 0 and working binaries in bin/gedlnx, bin/gnlnx, bin/rddtlnx; dist-gpl.sh 
also leaves ../gpl115-20260904.zip next to the source directory. If the script 
had failed to produce a binary it would have printed "File bin/gedlnx not 
exists, stop!".

The warnings come from -Wall -pedantic applied by GCC 15 to code written for 
the compilers of 1999-2005; they are known, and none of them is a defect the 
compiler found. dist-gpl.sh builds with GNU make, not with CMake, so the 
add_compile_options(-w) line had no effect on it. The make build has its own 
switch:

make PLATFORM=lnx GOLD_CC_WARNFLAGS=-w all strip

With it the compiler is silent; what is left are four notes from the linker 
about mktemp/tempnam, which glibc emits at link time for any program that calls 
them and which no compiler flag can suppress. Your separate cmake 
CMakeLists.txt run, with -w, built golded3/golded, goldnode/goldnode and 
rddt/rddt in the source tree; either set of binaries is fine to use.
