Details:

Hi,

My attempt to compile the latest version 4.8.0 crashes with:

CC       readlinkat.o
CC       regex.o
In file included from regex.c:74:
In file included from ./regexec.c:1362:
./malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c:195:13: error: expected identifier or '('
__nonnull ((1))
            ^
followed by a lot of similar messages about __nonnull ((1))

The error occurs with clang and gcc 10.2.0.  I can compile 4.7.0 without this
error.

I will happily provide whatever additional information might help.
