No change with this applied...

Also not sure if you read my link, but a few things to note:

- It only happens with gcc-11 here. I tried 12/13/14 and those

Since I got this setup with Guenter's setup, it literally takes me seconds
to compile and test anything. So feel free to toss anything at it and we'll
see what sticks.
