TeX Live fails to build on 32bit using gcc-14

[Preuße, Hilmar]

Hi Karl et al.,

we got a report, that it is impossibly to build [1] on 32bit, when using 
gcc-14. The error message reports:

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 ) ;

see [2]. Please note that this is a longer standing issue, but in gcc-13 
this was considered to be a warning [3]. Further the issue occurs on 
32bit arches and is invisible on 64bit based arches [4].

Please be so kind to have a look and keep me in Cc. Thanks!

Hilmar
