+Subject: [PATCH] work around ubuntu 20.10 build issue
+
+NetHack was trying to suppress warn_unused_result
+in include/tradstdc.h, by defining warn_unused_result
+to an empty string. That began causing a build error
+in a system-supplied header file cdefs.h
+when using 20.10 ubuntu impish.
+
+Try skipping that in tradstdc.h for any linux, unless
+the NetHack build defines GCC_URWARN to force it into
+play.
