Thomas Petazzoni edffc0bc50 package/enscript: fix build issue with musl and gcc >= 15
enscript currently fails to build with musl with gcc >= 15. In order
to fix this, we need to bring a number of patches from upstream, and
add 2 others that were submitted upstream.

From upstream, we bring
0002-Add-CFLAG-std-c89-so-it-compiles-with-the-old-standa.patch, which
switches to -std=c89 to get the compiler back to "old" behavior.

However, as this commit patches configure.ac, we need to autoreconf,
but autoreconf is broken, so we also take
0003-Automake-1.12-and-up-no-longer-supports-pre-ANSI.patch from
upstream, which drops a problematic autoconf macro.

However, once you drop this problematic autoconf macro, the PROTOTYPES
define is never set by anything, causing the __P macro to no longer be
defined properly. This is fixed by
0004-Fix-prototype-detection-when-__STDC__-is-defined-but.patch that
we have submitted upstream.

Once you're there, you realize that switching to -std=c89 has the side
effect that musl's <limits.h> no longer defines PATH_MAX, because it
needs one of:

  #if defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) || defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) \
   || defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) || defined(_GNU_SOURCE) || defined(_BSD_SOURCE)

and a side effect of -std=c89 is that none of these is defined
anymore. So we introduce 0005-Use-std-gnu89-instead-of-std-c89.patch,
which switches to -std=gnu89. This patch has also been submitted
upstream.

With all of these efforts, we get a successful build on musl with gcc
>= 15.

This commit needs to be backported to Buildroot versions that support
gcc 15.x, so that means the currently maintained 2026.x branches, but
not 2025.02 as only up to gcc 14.x was supported then.
