[QGIS-Developer] Understanding errors while building QGIS master

Hi Stefanos,

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely try that. In any case it is 
baffling that build fails using both internal and external (3.12).

I currently suspect deeper issues in gcc and how libstdc++ is linked in 
my system or the may be the OS. Up to two weeks ago I could compile QGIS 
painlessly.
