Bug#1117029: Bug#1117028: cl-alexandria: autopkgtest fails with -std=c23

[Ravi Kant Sharma <ravi.kant.sharma@canonical.com>]

Hi Peter,

We have ecl 24.5.10.20250914.git294da20+dfsg-1 which seems to have
fixed the issue. I have retried the tests.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Regards
Ravi

This is not only a problem for you, but also for migration of packages, see for example https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ecl where we have failures due to sbcl (another implementation) causing problems.
