A new example for this has just arrived, in pgpool2 4.5.3:

https://pgdgbuild.dus.dg-i.net/job/pgpool2-binaries/architecture=i386,distribution=sid/130/console

10:39:04 snprintf.c:409:1: error: conflicting types for ‘strchrnul’; have ‘const char *(const char *, int)’
10:39:04   409 | strchrnul(const char *s, int c)
10:39:04       | ^~~~~~~~~
10:39:04 In file included from snprintf.c:43:
10:39:04 /usr/include/string.h:286:14: note: previous declaration of ‘strchrnul’ with type ‘char *(const char *, int)’
10:39:04   286 | extern char *strchrnul (const char *__s, int __c)
10:39:04       |              ^~~~~~~~~

64-bit builds are fine.

So we'll definitely proceed with removing 32-bit extensions.
