+Subject: [PATCH] meson: don't error on clang's -Wunused-but-set-global
+
+clang 23 added -Wunused-but-set-global to the -Wunused warning group, so
+the -Werror that meson.build adds for git builds now turns it into a hard
+error:
+
+  osinfo/osinfo_avatar_format.c:24:1: error: variable
+    'osinfo_avatar_format_parent_class' set but not used
+    [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global]
+
+It fires on the <type>_parent_class variables that GLib's G_DEFINE_TYPE
+family of macros emit, which libosinfo cannot fix, and on the write-only
+'format' global in tools/osinfo-detect.c.
+
+Keep the warning visible but not fatal. gcc does not know this warning
+group and rejects the flag outright, so compiler.has_argument() drops it
+there.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
