New gcc 14 throws errors on 32bit architecutures due C99 violations

[Dr. Werner Fink]

Hi,

with new gcc 14 I have a bug report here for the latest build queues with lines like:

pdftexini.c: In function 'loadfmtfile':
pdftexini.c:4016:25: error: assignment to 'boolean *' {aka 'int *'} from incompatible pointer type 'internalfontnumber  ' {aka 'long int *'} [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
 4016 |     pdffonthasspacechar = xmallocarray ( internalfontnumber , fontmax ) ;
      |                         ^
pdftexini.c: In function 'mainbody':
pdftexini.c:5569:27: error: assignment to 'boolean *' {aka 'int *'} from incompatible pointer type 'internalfontnumber  ' {aka 'long int *'} [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
 5569 |       pdffonthasspacechar = xmallocarray ( internalfontnumber , fontmax ) ;
      |                           ^

Currently the work around is to use

  -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types

but IMHO a extended change file would be more sufficient I guess.
