Hi all,

Trying to compile the latest on CentOS 6.9 and getting the following. I'm
open to suggestions because I've got no idea what could be causing this one.

Looks like you're using a version of gcc that doesn't (correctly) support anonymous unions. I know it (anonymous unions) work correctly in v4.9.2 and later (and possibly earlier).

I managed to get it to compile with devtoolset-6 and adding -ltinfo to the lines that don't. I used make -d --trace to find out exactly where. It
seems to be running fine.

Yes, exactly. The fix for me was to add -ltinfo into src/sbbs3/GNUmakefile
for ECHOCFG and JSEXEC and in src/sbbs3/scfg/GNUmakefile for SCFG.
