GCC-15 does a big change, it changes the default language version for
C compilation from -std=gnu17 to -std=gnu23. That cause lots of "old
style" C codes hit build errors. On the other word, current xfstests
can't be used with GCC-15. So -std=gnu17 can help that.

Hi,

I send this patch just for talking about this issue. The upcoming gcc-15
does lots of changes, a big change is using C23 by default:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/porting_to.html

xfstests has many old style C codes, they hard to be built with gcc-15.
So we have to either add -std=$old_version (likes this patch), or port
the code to C23.

This patch is just a workaround (and a reminder for someone might hit
this issue with gcc-15 too). If you have any good suggestions or experience
(for this kind of issue) to share, feel free to reply.

Thanks,
Zorro
