incf and decf is undefined when building Consult

[a12l]

I'm using Borg with Emacs 30.2. When I'm building Consult (540ad1e, current HEAD) I get these warnings

I don't know much about the internals of Emacs, and especially little about the native compilation feature.

I see that at the top of consult.el we have

(eval-when-compile
  (require 'cl-lib)
  (require 'subr-x))

It looks like things are happening with incf and decf in Emacs.

In Emacs 30.2 we have this in //lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el

(defmacro cl-incf (place &optional x)
  "Increment PLACE by X (1 by default).
PLACE may be a symbol, or any generalized variable allowed by `setf'.
The return value is the incremented value of PLACE.

If X is specified, it should be an expression that should
evaluate to a number."
  (declare (debug (place &optional form)))
  (if (symbolp place)
      (list 'setq place (if x (list '+ place x) (list '1+ place)))
    (list 'cl-callf '+ place (or x 1))))

(defmacro cl-decf (place &optional x)
  "Decrement PLACE by X (1 by default).
PLACE may be a symbol, or any generalized variable allowed by `setf'.
The return value is the decremented value of PLACE.

If X is specified, it should be an expression that should
evaluate to a number."
  (declare (debug cl-incf))
  (if (symbolp place)
      (list 'setq place (if x (list '- place x) (list '1- place)))
    (list 'cl-callf '- place (or x 1))))

and in upcoming Emacs 31.1 we have in the same file

(defalias 'cl-incf #'incf
  "Increment PLACE by X (1 by default).
PLACE may be a symbol, or any generalized variable allowed by `setf'.
The return value is the incremented value of PLACE.

If X is specified, it should be an expression that should
evaluate to a number.

This macro is deprecated in favor of the built-in macro `incf' that was
added in Emacs 31.1.")

(defalias 'cl-decf #'decf
  "Decrement PLACE by X (1 by default).
PLACE may be a symbol, or any generalized variable allowed by `setf'.
The return value is the decremented value of PLACE.

If X is specified, it should be an expression that should
evaluate to a number.

This macro is deprecated in favor of the built-in macro `decf' that was
added in Emacs 31.1.")

Relevant commits here on Emacs' master branch (in chronological order) is

23 Feb 2025, 95fee88: New macros incf and decf
23 Feb 2025, ae37a1c: Prefer incf to cl-incf in emacs-lisp/*.el
4 Mars 2026, 7d63d26: Rename 'any' to 'member-if' and deprecate 'cl-member-if'

I'm doing something wrong?

After some interaction with ChatGPT I found that my compat installation was a few day to old, and I just updated it and everything works fine now.
