   Hey Nicholas!

   I still don't have one based on 6.12.12 ... yet.  My reasoning for this is it   
   wasn't released until after I had glibc-2.41 as an integral part of the mix   
   here, which it now is.

   That sounds about right except that there are previous releases still being   
   supported such as;   
      
   longterm:   5.4.290       2025-02-01   
      
   which is the oldest branch (5.4) still being worked on as the above date   
   suggests.  I had issues with that branch.  glibc-2.41 claims that kv 4.19.0 is   
   the minimum supported release but it can be configured to only support newer   
   releases if desired.  I haven't had a 4.19 kernel running here for quite some   
   time now but I figure I'll keep it as the minimum for glibc as long as there   
   is a minimum.  However new gcc's might not be so inclined.  I note you are   
   claiming gcc-14.2.1 which you might want to check as far as suitable kv's and   
   glibc versions are concerned.  So far no issues with gcc-14.2.0/glibc-2.41   
   that I've noticed but I am betting that a gcc-14.3.0 release isn't too far off.   
      
   Life is good,
