gnats compiling error

[Wes Barris]

I am trying to compile gnats (downloaded using cvs) on a Redhat 7
system.

It appears that a string is too long for gcc on Redhat 7:

gcc -c -I. -I. -I./../include  -g -O2 -W -Wall -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic -Werror 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wno-format  
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-DGNATSD_USER_ACCESS_FILE=\"/usr/local/share/gnats/gnatsd.access\" 
-DGNATSD_HOST_ACCESS_FILE=\"/usr/local/share/gnats/gnatsd.host_access\" 
-DDEFAULT_GNATS_SERVICE=\"support\" 
-DGLOBAL_DB_LIST_FILE=\"/usr/local/etc/gnats/databases\" -DGNATS_USER=\"gnats\" 
./query-pr.c
