They also have the luxury of full distro rebuilds every once in a while.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of this historical wart with the switch to
gcc-13 sometime next year if someone can convince me that the existing
packages (many of which have no current maintainer and therefore will
not be easily rebuilt) keep working.  In particular, Qt5 should still be
linkable and function with packages built before and after the switch.

Achim.
