a possible findutils OR gcc error.

[George R Goffe]

Hi,

I'm seeing this error from both the released gcc and the development versions 
while trying to build the "latest" findutils.

fc37-bash 5.1 /tools/findutils/findutils-4.9.0# /usr/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 12.0.1 20220222 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0)

fc37-bash 5.1 /tools/findutils/findutils-4.9.0# /usr/lsd/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 12.0.1 20220308 (experimental)

Could you let me know what the workaround might be please?

Best regards and STAY SAFE,

George...
