GCC 13 is now default in some distros

GCC 13 is now default in some distros

Just encountered this on my Arch Linux distribution myself, and they had switched a week ago. Until this issue gets resolved, the workaround is to install GCC 12 (might be labelled as the gcc-12 or gcc12 package depending on the distro) and override the default compiler with env CC=gcc-12 <MAKE COMMAND>. With that, I was able to get fasttext Python package.

The change in the PR (#1340) supposed to fix this "bug" is not correct (anymore?) : while compiling src/args.cc using make, I get: src/args.h:16:1: note: 'int64_t' is defined in header '<cstdint>'; did you forget to '#include <cstdint>'?

This is probably because args.h is included before cstdint.

Maybe better with the log of the commands used and their output, they are part of a Dockerfile build:
