Hi Rudolf,

My default debian system is bullseye - but I always use the prequisite
libs (mpfr etc) using the contrib packages via:

   cd gcc-top-dir
   ./contrib/download_prerequisites

and install it local to my $HOME/opt directory and then set the PATH
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly to avoid picking up the system installed
libraries and gcc when testing building m2 projects.

I'll have a look at sid on a vm and check

regards,
Gaius
