#1085 GnuCOBOL make faills on Fedora 42
As the maintenance for my current Fedora 40 will end soon, I have to switch to the latest release, which is Fedora 42.
So I upgraded my sandbox system and installed all needed software.
Unfortunately I got stuck on the GnuCOBOL make.
Here's the output:

I tried the official GnuCOBOL release and the latest 3.3 nightly.
Both are causing the same error.
try to add CFLAGS="-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types" to your GnuCOBOL configure line.
... or just install GnuCOBOL feom EPEL :-)
Thank you for the hint, Simon!
I was able to make the original 3.2 version with this configure command:
Happy Easter from Bremen to Dresden :-)
