build error: incompatible pointer type about nimbus-eth2 HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, it's a gcc 14 incompatibility. status-im/nim-stint#153 resolves the nim-stint issue in isolation, but it's not the only part of this. We're working on resolving this.

The remaining issue here is the KZG library. The fix for that did not make it into the upcoming release (v24.6), so overall this still won't work, but the problem won't be nim-stint anymore.

Keeping issue open because it'll still be an incompatible pointer type error though.

Indeed, the error persists on v24.6.0.

Basically two remaining steps:

• update to a version of Nim containing nim-lang/Nim#23761 and
• update KZG bindings (which, the reworked gcc 14-compatible versions depend on this Nim fix) with the newer code from https://github.com/status-im/nim-kzg4844 to incorporate that part of the fix

It's plausible but not guaranteed that these will happen in time for v24.7.0. In theory everything necessary now exists, it's integrating and having enough time to test it.

#6403 fixes this, but refraining from closing this issue until we test it some more.
