Thanks for the quick reply!

I think you're on the right track about the newer tool chain. 
Unfortunately that commit doesn't seem to have any effect.  (This makes 
me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.)

"20.11" and "master" build fine, so we know there is a solution in there 
somewhere.  :^)

I think I will try the Docker container next.

  Thanks!
