qnx6_checkroot() had been using weirdly spelled initializer - it needed
to initialize 3-element arrays of char and it used NUL-padded
3-character string literals (i.e. 4-element initializers, with
completely pointless zeroes at the end).
That had been spotted by gcc-15[*]; prior to that gcc quietly dropped
the 4th element of initializers.
However, none of that had been needed in the first place - all this
array is used for is checking that the first directory entry in root
directory is "." and the second - "..". The check had been expressed as
a loop, using that match_root[] array. Since there is no chance that we
ever want to extend that list of entries, the entire thing is much too
fancy for its own good; what we need is just a couple of explicit
memcmp() and that's it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
