Building xinetd with gcc-14 in Buildroot raises the following error:
cvt.c: In function 'fcvt_r':
cvt.c:113:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'strx_nprint' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
113 | n = strx_nprint (buf, len, "%.*" FLOAT_FMT_FLAG "f", ndigit, value);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
Including "str.h" header to fix the compiler error would add a build-time dependency of libportable on libstr, creating a circular dependency chhain:
libportable -> libstr -> libsio -> libportable
which results in GNU make dropping dependency edges and therefore not fixing the original build error.
The commit keeps the existing library layering unchanged while restoring successful builds with modern compilers.
