Compilation failure - privileges.c: In function 'relinquish_special_privs_perm' - ignoring return value of 'setresgid', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]

Recently (~2 days or so ago?), I've failed to compile wireshark, on F17/x64:

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I./.. -DINET6

privileges.c:282:12: error: ignoring return value of 'setresuid', declared
with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors



If it were git, I'm sure I could easily use 'git bisect' and find the issue.
Without it, I'm really unsure - as the last change to this file took place
some time ago.

TIA,
Y.
