emerge dev-perl/Ace-1.290.0-r2 fails with compilation error: RPC.xs:157:6: error: non-void function 'constant' should return a value [-Wreturn-type] I'd argue that the return statement that's causing it should not be there at all. The lines 154 -- 161 in RPC.xs look like this: case '_': if (strEQ(name, "_ACECLIENT_")) #ifdef _ACECLIENT_ return _ACECLIENT_; #else goto not_there; #endif break; and the macro _ACECLIENT_ is the include guard in acelib/wh/aceclient.h and is defined as empty. I'm guessing it got picked up along with other constants defined in aceclient.h by some automated code generation. My system is a Gentoo Prefix on a Mac, but I'm filing the bug as "Gentoo Linux" because it looks like it affects everyone. I have also filed it upstream at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=123593 The build.log and friends will be attached in a moment.
