Aha. Then it is perhaps time to rebase the pull request on master and
see if we can get it merged before it is too late this time?

Happy hacking

The *QUIETFLAGS Makefile variables seem scary, hiding coding errors that could cause security or stability issues. Perhaps we should make an effort to get completely rid of them? |

Note, I tried addressing one of the warnings in #1922 by completely rewriting the print methods to avoid statically allocated buffers. |

I've heavily revised this PR and would appreciate re-review @SebKuzminsky @petterreinholdtsen |
We deliberately use truncating formats and string operations, this is not something the compiler should warn us about.
These occur internally to boost::python headers.
4/5 based on a review comment by seb, 1 more caught by grep
.. so rename it. I don't know if anyone is using the rule, but if so they have to adjust their manual process This also fixes the build-time diagnostic ``` Makefile:865: warning: overriding recipe for target 'install-menu' Makefile:648: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 'install-menu' ```
.. it's ignored in the caller, but this should be the return value. It quiets a diagnostic about res being assigned but not used.
.. the manpage is still generated. This is done simply to get rid of the diagnostic message when it's built in-tree. I considered the alternative of providing a TOPDIR value during build, but as I would only be able to test it during a uspace build I decided not to do so. I'd be happy to see it done as a substitute, though, as otherwise the component is likely to bitrot.
.. it quiets some stringop-truncation diagnostics
