larn: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 1, have 0

[vikingjs@…]

Attempting to compile larn generates a ton of warnings and a few errors. As with ticket:37821, it looks like increasingly strict compiler defaults are breaking this ancient codebase.

Unfortunately I can't do any work on my ports at the moment so I'm un-assigning myself and returning my ports to nomaintainer (r119007).

There are three errors shown in the log, all of this type:

:info:build diag.c:212:55: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 1, have 0
:info:build         lrfill((char*)&c[0],100*sizeof(long));  gtime = lrint();
:info:build                                                         ~~~~~ ^

The reason this error occurs is that larn has defined a function called "lrint", but the system headers also define a function "lrint" which is different. The larn "lrint" function needs to be renamed so that it does not clash with the system function.

I found a patch from freebsd where they fixed this problem ten years ago by renaming the larn "lrint" function to "lrint_x". I made the same change in r119214 and the port builds for me now.
