db5 has no changes since 2026Q2, says cvs diff.

It builds for me NetBSD 10 amd64, pkgsrc-current.

I messed around with C std, CXX std, compiler versions, and it seems
that it fails with gcc14, with a complaint about FNCTL, and I see a ton
of warnings/errors in configure log.   Forcing c99 didn't help.

gcc12 was ok, as was 10's native gcc10.

I think there's something complicated going on with the code and gcc14
that is perhaps distinct from the C std.

Seems like whowever was troubled might file an upstream bug.
