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
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
