compile error on boringssl - [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]

[ChinW]

i am trying to compile the library from apple/M1 chip, but keep getting below error about boringSSL, i wonder if there is any pointer here, tried to search around but didnt get a quick shot yet.

# See https://everything.curl.dev/source/build/tls/boringssl
mkdir -p lib
ln -sf ../crypto/libcrypto.a lib/libcrypto.a
ln -sf ../ssl/libssl.a lib/libssl.a
cp -Rf ../include .

seems also related to https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate/issues/201

will give a try

[infostud]

Also occurs with FreeBSD and clang. Work around is to correct the source code and remove the unused variable 'l' It is declared, on the left of an assignment operation, and l-- decremented in two locations. Its value isn't used anywhere. There are more errors unfortunately.

@ChinW @infostud It would be great if you could test #217 to see if the compilation errors are solved on your machines.
