The dev-libs/newt package cannot compile on musl systems, I encountered the error first in gcc 15, then I tried to test in gcc 14, the error kept appearing. One of the errors is: form.c:162:41: error: implicit declaration of function 'strncmp' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 162 | if ((term=(char *)getenv("TERM")) && !strncmp(term,"xterm",5)) | ^~~~~~~ form.c:29:1: note: include '<string.h>' or provide a declaration of 'strncmp' 28 | #include "newt_pr.h" +++ |+#include <string.h> 29 | Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a musl system 2. Try to compile newt Actual Results: A compilation error appeared and did not allow the program to be installed correctly Expected Results: It should have been compiled and installed successfully.
Please always include the full build.log and emerge --info.

Note that the title (and tracker) should be c99, given you said it fails with 14.
