Out of interest I have a Raspberry pi3B+ and a Pi4 8Gb.
I have bullseye 32 bit on the 3 and had Bullseye 64 bit on the 4.
Built and use golded on the 3 - no problems but for the 64 bit it would
compile
abet a lot of warning messages but would not run.
Installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 on the 4 and rebuilt Golded, again with warning msgs
but again it will not run just comes back immediately.
It is beginning to seriously annoy me.
The rest of Ubuntu seems ok although it is a very basic gui - may be a limited
Gnome build but have not yet attempted to find out what exactly it is.
Oh, both 32 and 64 versions originally compiled using gcc but with the very
large number of warning messages for both, I redid it using clang with `export
CC=clang` preceding the make resulting in less messages but are different
warnings regarding pragma's.
If the developers must insist of using -Wall for the compiles they really
should make sure that in compiles cleanly !
One trick I have not yet tried is to copy the executable from 32 bit to the
pi4
and see if it runs there.
