There are some tests in configure.ac that contain,
int main() { ... }
That's not the correct signature for main() according to the C
standard, and newer compilers are going to reject it. More information
about this can be found at,
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Modern_C_porting
In this case, the fix is simply to write
int main(int argc, char** argv) { ... }
instead.
The vbr_strlcpy() function declares that its arguments should live in
registers:
vbr_strlcpy(dst, src, size)
register char *dst;
register const char *src;
ssize_t size;
{
...
This makes GCC unhappy when -Werror=strict-prototypes is used:
vbr.c:167:1: error: function declaration isn't a prototype
[-Werror=strict-prototypes]
167 | vbr_strlcpy(dst, src, size)
The "register" keyword is largely obsolete on modern systems anyway,
since the compiler is better at determining how to move memory around
than the programmer is. So to appease GCC and simplify the code a bit,
the signature has been changed to,
vbr_strlcpy(char *dst, const char *src, ssize_t size) { ... }
changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty

PR trusteddomainproject#171, trusteddomainproject#192, and trusteddomainproject#203 contains changes in configure.ac, however they were not always reflect their changes into configure. So rebuild it here.
