I'm pretty sure this isn't the latest newlib-cygwin main.

The getentropy warning has been fixed on 2023-09-25 by commit
a9e8e3d1cb82 ("newlib: Add missing prototype for _getentropy")

The ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT error message has been fixed on
2024-02-12 by commit 10c8c1cf4f94 ("include/ansidecl.h: import from
binutils-gdb")
