Build log

Hello,

you're receiving this canned bug because the package in summary uses the flag -Werror during build, which transforms warnings in errors, and is prone to break software when new GCC releases are added to Gentoo.

Please make sure your package does not use -Werror during build, so that it can be more future-proof for the new GCC releases.

Thanks,
Diego

Fixed in gherkin 2.3.10 and added a pull request upstream.
