Commit Message

GCC-15 has switched to using C23 by default, we have been selectively
disabling warnings as errors to get by, however with autoconf 2.72 adding
-std=gnu23 it now gets enabled for every compiler and clang-22 is more
obidient and has dropped support for K&R C completely. db5 code has a lot
of K&R C prototypes and it starts to fail vigorously. We can not keep
working around with out uplifting sources to be compliant with newer C
standard like C23.

Therefore pin the cflags to use C99 standard as this package expects.

Drop the code to disable warnings as errors selectively.
