i was looking into #5467 and i did a bit of digging.
it seems the gcc15 issues are stemming from 15 changing the default C version from
gnu17tognu23.we didn't have the c standard explicitly set before, leading to compiler defaults being used.
our CI builds use gcc12 which defaults to c17. i think for consistency in blair it makes sense to fix the gcc15 issue by explicitly setting the c standard to c17.
i ran some test builds using a modified
test-builds-on-distrosworkflow (i just removed everything but arch and gcc from it) and was able to get the project to successfully build with this change.i do think updating the code to work with the c23 standard is a reasonable thing to do, and i think #5467 does a great job of it, but i would prefer we do that in
