3 days ago Hi @ArjenR49,
This is normal and expected behavior. I recently switched to using a version of overlayfs-tools that is managed in another repository. It is a dependency for zram-config, and the repository I switched to uses Meson as a build system with ninja being the compiler frontend that is used.
I'm sorry if this alarmed you, but it's nothing to worry about. The warnings you are seeing are simply normal compile-time warnings displayed by the compiler for the benefit of the developer.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Warnings like these are enough to send me up the wall ... installing some Meson build system and ninja? I was only looking to install zram-config, not a compiling system and what have you. Are these errors bad? Can I use zram-config on my Pi Zero 2 PiHole/Unbound/DNS and local NTP server as it is now with those errors? It runs Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 32 bits.
Perhaps there is some syntax error that I can put right by editing install.bash? Github is strange to me. Obviously very useful, if you have studied it first.
Not too long ago I installed zram-config on another Pi Zero and there was no --recurse-modules on the download command AND no errors, either. In that log there's not a trace of Meson system and Ninja. (Ninja sounds silly science fiction, btw. Probably from some TV program for children .... except my other R7800 router has a Ninja logo ... )
