[QGIS-Developer] Understanding errors while building QGIS master

Hi

I seek help in understanding errors (see excerpt below) I am currently 
experiencing while building QGIS master in a fresh openSUSE Tumbleweed 
install. These errors seem to originate in nlohmann json. I am used to 
compile QGIS from source but never seen these errors before and have 
trouble figuring out where they originate and what a possible solution 
could be.

I am using Qt 6.9.0, and tried compiling using both GCC 14 and 15. 
Passing the CXX flag "-std=c++17" does not seem to help. I tried using 
NLOHMANN both internal and also using the latest version compiled 
locally (3.12, as in error log below) but both fail in a similar way.

I compiled QGIS master as late as 6 april without problems in a previous 
openSUSE install. There is a very real the possibility that recent 
changes in GCC14 and 15 regarding required standards are playing a part 
here, as well as packaging changes in openSUSE Tumbleweed. However, as I 
am unsure what the cause may be I would like to ask the developers if 
these errors look familiar to you and if they suggest something.

Thanks in advance

Hernán
