Hi

I'm seeing build failures on RHEL7 when trying to build 2.47.0 - RHEL8
seems to be fine

Have I done something silly or is it just too old?

2 questions, 2 answers: No, yes.
There hasn't been much focus on supporting these/this old platform(s)
the last weeks or months.
Thanks for reporting, I myself can no longer compile Git under centos 7
any more, but I am happy to work on patches.

I think RHEL/CentOS 7 is too old to support according to our platform
support policy.  It's no longer receiving regular LTS support.

The clar patches I do believe will be coming in soon, but I think users
will need to upgrade on CentOS 7 nonetheless.
