These changes are per calc version 2.12.7.3:
Requiring calc shell scripts to use -s -f at the end of the
initial #! line.
Fixed /tmp/mersenne example in calc(1) man page.
Added make variable ${ARCH_CFLAGS}. The ${ARCH_CFLAGS} is
added after ${CCMISC} and before ${EXTRA_CFLAGS} when building
the ${CFLAGS} for compiling C code. are ${CC} when compiling
C files. The default value is:
ARCH_CFLAGS= -march=native
which directs C compiler to compile for the native machine.
To disable use of '-march=native', set ARCH_CFLAGS to the empty
string as in:
make all ARCH_CFLAGS=
To make calc RPMs more portable, they are compiled with an
empty ARCH_CFLAGS.
These changes are per calc version 2.12.7.4:
Fixed issues relating to compiling on macOS. Fixed issues

GCC 7 Added a warning for implicit fallthroughs in switch cases.
It's enabled by -Wextra, and treated as an error due to -Werror so
compilation fails on GCC 7 and higher.
See -Wimplicit-fallthrough in the GCC manual.
Corrected CHANGES notes that were mixed up for TAB, VT, CR &
NL. The code in 2.12.7.0 is correct. The CHANGE notes should
have read:
The following is a partial list of escape sequences recognized
in strings and in printf formats:
\a audible bell byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding
\b backspace byte 0x08 in ASCII encoding
\f form feed byte 0x0c in ASCII encoding
\n newline byte 0x0a in ASCII encoding
\r return byte 0x0d in ASCII encoding
\t tab byte 0x09 in ASCII encoding
\v vertical tab byte 0x0b in ASCII encoding
Sorry!
The following are the changes from calc version 2.12.7.0 to date:
Added a patch to replaces the manual search for include files
in $(INCDIR) in the have_*.h targets with compiler invocations.
Thanks goes to Helmut Grohne (helmut at subdivi dot de) who
implemented the patch and posted it to the Debian bug tracker
and Martin Buck (m at rtin-buck dor de) for forwarding it to us.
The check_include make rule was fixed to not assume /usr/include.
The qprintnum() function now takes outdigits as a 3rd argument.
Most of the time, this 3rd argument is just conf->outdigits.
But when it comes to the experimental '%g', this value can
change. This avoids having to modify conf->outdigits.
Fixed a problem where gcc complains about E_FUNC not being defined
for Linux systems as reported by Martin Buck (m at rtin-buck dor de).
Updated the help files help/config, help/display, help/epsilon,
help/fprint, help/printf, and help/strprintf to give more
examples of how display digits and epsilon precision interact
with displaying values.
Added more information about %g in the help file help/printf.
The '\a' is now recognized in a printf format string as the
single byte audible bell character (byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding).
The following is a partial list of escape sequences recognized
in strings and in printf formats:
\a audible bell byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding
\b backspace byte 0x08 in ASCII encoding
\f form feed byte 0x0c in ASCII encoding
\n newline byte 0x0b in ASCII encoding
\r return byte 0x0a in ASCII encoding
\t tab byte 0x0d in ASCII encoding
\v vertical tab byte 0x09 in ASCII encoding
Regularized the case statements in qio.c, str.c, and token.c
that relate to escape characters.

This code %g is preliminary.
Fixed some code style issues to match the current code style.
Added regression tests and help file updates to printf and strprintf.
Fixed use of magic number -4: using -P instead.
Noted two problem areas with XXX comments in qio.c:
1) need a qprintfg function
2) re-write to not modify conf->outdigits
The following are the changes in this release:
For historical purposes, in lucas.cal, gen_v1(1, n) always returns 4.
Fixed some compiler warnings, thanks to a report by Mike
<michael dot d dot ince at gmail dot com>.
Added work around for a gcc warning bug, thanks to a report by Mike
<michael dot d dot ince at gmail dot com>.
Fixed errors in various help files such as:
mat randbit seed srandom types
Removed the MAXSTRING symbol because it was no longer used by calc.
Increased HIST_SIZE (depth of the history stack) from 10k to 32k.
Increased TTYSIZE (reallocation size for terminal buffers) from 100 to 8191.
Increased MAXDEPTH (maximum depth of input stack) from 10 to 255.
Increased interactive input buffer size from 1024 to 256k. This has the
effect of increasing the maximum length of an input line from a tty.
This helps with an interactive bug that was reported by Ruslan Kabatsayev
(b7 dot 10110111 at gmail dot com).
The calc man page indicates that -d also disables the printing of the
leading tilde.
Added information to "help command" about how to silence messages
while reading calc resource files.
Fixed an error message buffer overflow thanks to a report by
Frank Peters <nlp at northernlightsphoto dot biz>.
Replaced all use of the C funcion sprintf() with snprintf().
Replaced all use of the C funcion vsprintf() with vsnprintf().
Replaced all DONT_HAVE_VSPRINTF with DONT_HAVE_VSNPRINTF.
Replaced all Makefile var ${HAVE_VSPRINTF} with ${HAVE_VSNPRINTF}.

Fixed a man page warning about ./myfile where the leading dot
was mistook for an nroff macro. Thanks goes to David Haller
<dnh at opensuse dot org> for providing the patch.
Improved gen_v1(h,n) in lucas.cal for cases where h is not a
multiple of 3. Optimized the search for v(1) when h is a
multiple of 3.
Fixed a Makefile problem, reported by Doug Hays <doughays6 at gmail
dot com>, where if a macOS user set BINDIR, LIBDIR, CALC_SHAREDIR
or INCDIR in the top section, their values will be overwritten by
the Darwin specific section.
