Fails to build with GCC on FreeBSD

[jbeich]

Affects at least FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE, 12.1-RELEASE, 13.0-RELEASE.

$ pkg install automake libtool gmake gcc9
$ sh bin/setup.sh
$ cd build
$ export MAKE=gmake CC=gcc9
$ ../configure --enable-warnings
$ gmake

Very strange, considering that dlfunc is meant to be cast:

 The dlfunc() function implements all of the behavior of dlsym(), but has
 a return type which can be cast to a function pointer without triggering
 compiler diagnostics.  (The dlsym() function returns a data pointer; in
 the C standard, conversions between data and function pointer types are
 undefined.  Some compilers and lint(1) utilities warn about such casts.)
 The precise return type of dlfunc() is unspecified; applications must
 cast it to an appropriate function pointer type.

I guess the fix would involve "#pragma GCC diagnostic push/ignore/pop".

Sorry to be so insanely slow; Fixed in "develop".

Thanks, Phil
