Research direction

Start by reviewing the newly added wasm2c tool from issue #8763 and comparing its installed name and behavior with wabt's wasm2c. Determine whether the tools are compatible or whether one should be renamed. Done means both packages can be installed together without a name collision and the chosen behavior is documented.

Description

The newly added (#8763) wasm2c tool introduces a conflict with wabt's wasm2c, which would prevent both packages from being installed at the same time on Fedora (and I have another package that requires both to build).

Are these two wasm2c supposed to be drop-in replacements and compatible? If not, can you rename one of them?
