Fresh build this morning produces many such warnings. I have attached config.log and make.log: buffer.c:1223:46: warning: 'sprintf' is deprecated: This function is provided for compatibility reasons only. Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead. [-Wdeprecated-declarations] AUTO_STRING_WITH_LEN (lnumber, number, sprintf (number, "-%d", i)); ^ /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h:188:1: note: 'sprintf' has been explicitly marked deprecated here __deprecated_msg("This function is provided for compatibility reasons only. Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead.") ^ /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:215:48: note: expanded from macro '__deprecated_msg' #define __deprecated_msg(_msg) __attribute__((__deprecated__(_msg))) ^ Best regards, Jacob Faibussowitsch (Jacob Fai - booss - oh - vitch)
