Hi,
thanks for the overview - that will be useful to extend the list of
known-issues eventually.

I agree with all of those reports, and some of them are older already,
not new to the current iteration.
But they all fall into the same category as some former build issues
we have seen.
As the 19.11 series gets older it fails to build in very new
compilers/distros for the new toolchains there being more strict.
I'm happy to backport patches for those, but as always we will only
block new LTS releases if we break build(environments) that formerly
worked.

^^ this one has (900) a fix which I already picked and will be in -rc2
