Hello,
I started working on this, but stopped. There are dozens of instances of
implicit internal[1] function references without prototype. The whole thing
looks very dated.
I cannot judge how important canna is, popcon is low (29 installations).
It might be time to drop canna, Fedora already did, there has not been
upstream work for more almost 20 years, also it has been maintained with
QA uploads and NMUs since 2008
Cc-ing packages with b-d on libcanna1g-dev to perhaps get some further
input.

[1] defined without prototype in foo.c, also used in bar.c
