Hello,

it has been a while and I am trying to compile a new version of GPG 
(2.5.19) and its libraries.
Only npth was already successfully compiled.

I am already struggling with libgpg-error and
since libgpg-error is the basis for everything else I am stuck.

error message:
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgpg-error.la" && ln -s 
"../libgpg-error.la" "libgpg-error.la" )

I found this in the Changelog:
2025-12-09  Werner Koch  <wk at gnupg.org>
         argparse: gpgrt_fconcat to get the SYSCONFDIR.
         + commit 6fe7cf710254d78ada27fbf63747ab0e97bc6979
         * src/stringutils.c (_gpgrt_fconcat): New internal function.
         * src/argparse.c (_gpgrt_argparser): Use it.

         New function gpgrt_fconcat.
         + commit 34dba88757fedb61d1ea63616a3e03837ccf50ab
         * src/w32-utils.c: New.
         * src/init.c (_gpg_err_init, DllMain): Call new init function.
         * src/visibility.c (gpgrt_fconcat): New.
         * src/gpg-error.h.in (gpgrt_fconcat): New prototype.
         (GPGRT_FCONCAT_ABS): New.
         (GPGRT_FCONCAT_TILDE): New.
         (GPGRT_FCONCAT_SYSCONF): New.
         * src/gpg-error.def.in (gpgrt_fconcat): New.
         * src/gpg-error.vers: (gpgrt_fconcat): New.
         * src/stringutils.c (_gpgrt_vfnameconcat): Repalce want-abs but 
a new
         flags arg.  Change to support GPGRT_FCONCAT_SYSCONF.  Fix tilde
         expansion under Windows to use CISDL_PROFILE instead of $HOME. 
Adjust
         all callers.

         * src/gpg-error.c (main): New command "fconcat".


Any idea, what the reason might be?
Which additional information can I provide to pinpoint the issue?

Best regards
	Frank
