This explains why it went so smooth with Arch. m-(

Running the build on Arch I get multiple errors of this kind:
browser.c:548:17: error: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from
pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
  548 |       char *c = strrchr (d, '/');
      |                 ^~~~~~~

This is in function:
static int examine_directory (MUTTMENU *menu, struct browser_state *state,
			      const char *d, const char *prefix).

AFAIU, strrchr is defined as: char * strrchr(const char *s, int c).

*c is changed later in that function, so we can't make it const. Any
ideas what's the best way forward from here?
