Sorry, it looks like I misunderstood your bug report.

--enable-gcc-warnings is intended for developers, that is, people who are 
maintaining or modifying coreutils. It tends to generate so many false alarms 
that it is not intended for builders (people who are compiling and installing 
coreutils). This particular diagnostic appears to be a false alarm, as coreutils 
should configure and build just find if sys/sysctl.h is missing. So I suggest 
either ignoring the warning, or omitting --enable-gcc-warnings, or (and this is 
hardest suggestion, and meant only if you want to become a developer) developing 
a patch that pacifies your compiler.

Yes, please do that. It's generally not a good idea to build with 
different flags than you configured with.

Hi,
I'm building the "latest" coreutils on my Fedora Core 32 x86_64 system with=
 two different versions of the gcc compilers. Both builds are failing with =
this indication:
In file included from lib/nproc.c:50:
/usr/include/sys/sysctl.h:21:2: error: #warning "The <sys/sysctl.h> header =
is deprecated and will be removed." [-Werror=3Dcpp]
21 | #warning "The <sys/sysctl.h> header is deprecated and will be removed.=
"
|=C2=A0 ^~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors


I guess the builds would succeed if it weren't for the "-Werror=3Dcpp" flag=
. I can try removing this flag if you'd like. I thought you might like to s=
ee this error though.
I can provide build logs for both versions if you need/want them.
Best Regards,
George...
