So perhaps there is now this odd situation where newer distros which don’t have newer GC versions still have to build from source, because the pre-built versions are targeting a lower release. (19.04 *does* contain 3.4 however in it’s repos)

I upgraded from 18.04 to 19.04 last night.  GnC (trusty) runs fine --
but, I'm unable to build due to dependencies.  I'll sort those out over
the next few days (I hope I can get it done this week) and attempt to
build 3.5 for Disco.
