rpm: error: implicit declaration of function '__dbsrv_timeout' is invalid in C99

Before installing the rpm, i installed manually Command Line Tool for XCode 12.2 and neon as a dependency of rpm. When i do port install rpm, it is not able to built.

I tried also rpm54, but it's same.

Interesting. The first error shown in the log is:

:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure ./configure[38578]: eval: line 1: 8393: Abort
:info:configure configure: error: ./configure failed for zlib

I don't know what's going on there. But the log also contains a second build attempt which failed in a different way:

:info:build db_server_svc.c:591:1: error: implicit declaration of function '__dbsrv_timeout' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
:info:build __dbsrv_timeout(0);}
:info:build ^

This is a more expected type of problem that we are more familiar with fixing.
