Thank you for the update - that is great to hear.

Yeah we always find those and there will be more over time the older this gets.
I already got two fixed (one freebsd and one gcc 11.2) but this kind
is just growing without being able to do much :-/

TL;DR: we are glad to know, but only if the build in the established
environments 19.11 started in break it is really bad.

FYI - there most likely will be an -rc2 later as we have collected
many more fixes.
I hope that fits somewhere into your time availability - gladly we
have a few more weeks.
