are these new issues compared to master? There we also have gcc@9 and @12,
so my guess would be no, at least for the first one.

If the situation is not worse than on master, my answer will be a firm "no".
Otherwise I am less sure. I think we might still want to merge core-updates
first and handle these cross compilation issues in a later feature branch
of the core team.

Thanks for your work and thorough analysis!
