Using the latest version or even close to it, can and no doubt will, cause
problems when compiling older code, let alone the presence of bugs in new
versions, that have not been tested in the field for a month or six etc.

For example, just try and compile golded and try and get a clean compile which
I can not do even on a Raspberry Pi4 using Ubuntu and no the executable does
not work. This produces a LOT of warnings and error messages.
