Thanks for your report.

Please give us some more info: Your operating system (+distribution),
the compiler + version and the C library + version.

I don't see any "basename" in line 125. Can you show us the lines
around line 125 in Makefile?

Which version of make do you use (make --version)? Is it GNU make?

string2.h isn't used nor included in SANE anywhere so I guess that's a
problem with your C library. Can you show us some of these warnings
with a little context please?

Bye,
