I sure wish that these errors would pop up more consistently across OS versions. I saw no such issue on Big Sure/Intel.

I'll see if I can deal with the missing function prototype that cause me to include the header file in some other way.

I observe this error also on macOS 12.3 Monterey.

We also saw this error on macOS 11 on arm64:

​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_arm64-builder/builds/48809/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

but not on macOS 11 on x86_64 nor on macOS 12 on arm64 nor x86_64.

Well, that didn't work.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

For older (10.9 and below) there is another issue, see #64842

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

I was just able to build and activate xar @1.8.0.483_3, on on macOS 12.3 Monterey.
