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.               VC> For example, just try and compile golded and try and get a clean        VC> compile              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       wood:::               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              -o -o o- o- o- o- -o -o o- -o o- o- -o -o o- o-        (\ (\ /) /) /) /) (\ (\ /) (\ /) /) (\ (\ /) /)        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
