Issue: net-ftp/linksys-tftp-1.2.1-r3 fails to compile (CLANG-STRICTER-SYSTEM).
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: clang-stricter_tinderbox)

NOTE:
(CLANG-STRICTER-SYSTEM) in the summary means that the bug was found on a machine that runs clang with stricter mode

This machine uses clang with CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS=-Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=implicit-int -Werror=incompatible-function-pointer-types

It's crusty K&R C. Last noted in to have updates in 2004. May need total rewrite...

Gentoo is only one distro to have this package.
Are routers that need this software still exist?
