Thanks for tracking these - as usual (gladly) all those seem just
compilation issues with newer toolchains which we are happy (but not
required) to apply.

BTW 991 even got a ping identifying the patches to fix the build by now.

All of those are great to know, but seem fine (as in not blocking the release).
Given that this was meant to be the last 19.11.x release they might
never be applied even if found.
So do not over-invest in tracking remaining "toolchain newer than the
release" build issues :-)
