That is precisely all I did to printf/repl-vsnprintf.c was to toss in
the typedef on the last line and the complaint went away.

Also saw this on Debian sid for uname -m being "armv7l" and :

arm7$ head /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
model name      : ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)
BogoMIPS        : 48.00
Features        : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3 tls 
vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32 lpae evtstrm
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xc0d
CPU revision    : 1

arm7$ uname -a
Linux arm7 4.4.132+ #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 18:03:49 CST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux
arm7$ cat /etc/debian_version
buster/sid

Everything compiles, tests and seems to run just fine there after the
empty typedef is tossed in.
