With the v1 patchset I found that by reverting the file update and
bringing it back to 5.44 I was able to build all the way to hello on
x86_64-linux, i686-linux, aarch64-linux, riscv64-linux and
powerpc64le-linux. I haven't tested armhf- or powerpc- yet.

For cross-compiling I ran into a test failure in mpfr <at> 4.2.0 and 4.2.1
as needed by gcc-cross-i686-linux-gnu-11.4.0.

FAIL: tsprintf
==============

Error in mpfr_vsprintf (s, "%0+ -'13.10Pd:", ...);
expected: "+01,234,567  :"
got:      "+0001,234,567:"
FAIL tsprintf (exit status: 1)
