   Hey Vincent!

   For sure.  It happens almost every time and the code doesn't need to be that   
   old.  As of today, firefox now craps out using gcc-13.1.0 while gcc-12.2.0 has   
   no major issue(s) compiling the exact same source using the exact same   
   versions of the tools required to assist, such as binutils, rustc, llvm, etc.   
      
    VC> let alone the presence of bugs in new versions,   
      
   Yep, that can and does happen.

   Have yet to try any of the regular fidonet libs and tools other than the bash   
   script I have been deploying since way back when.  It works ... :::knock on

    VC> I can not do even on a Raspberry Pi4   
      
   I've got a orange pi 5 I have yet to get up and running.  I was planning to do   
   the same with fidonet I have been doing for a couple decades now, albiet with   
   some updates along the way.  Nothing major that breaks backwards compatibility   
   with prior bash releases.  I am betting it will work great on the orange pi   
   except only eight penguins on there.  I think eight will be enough.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
