Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


./configure: line 2564: spellcheck: command not found
starttls.c:536:22: error: assignment to 'void (*)(int)' from incompatible pointer type 'void (*)(void)' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types[https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wincompatible-pointer-types]]

FYI, all the links there are broken:
https://wiki.g.o/wiki/Modern_C_porting#-Wincompatible-pointer-types

I guess that should be wiki.gentoo.org, not wiki.g.o

I have submitted a few patches upstream that should resolve this:
https://github.com/svarshavchik/courier-libs/commit/cfd14303c8a769c7674d4012b02a4bf2ff9c3d30
https://github.com/svarshavchik/courier/commit/af8b79ca19b1ddb31f82dcda1edd4802a96522cf

Should therefore be fixed once the next courier release is out.
