Excellent!

Why bother? =A0You have something that works.

Newer versions of GCC are not compatible with ancient versions of
the GNU C library, particularly if you're trying to use some of
the newer fortification options. =A0Sorry. =A0But this is not Emacs's problem; it's a problem with your build environment.
