[GNC] Gnc 4.1 Make Fail - MX-LINUX (Debian Buster)

[Andrew Clark]

I'd guess from the subject they're running Debian Buster (10), which
unfortunately I don't have installed anywhere useful at the moment.

I'm running Debian Bullseye (11) and did not have any issues building 4.1
from source, so perhaps upgrading to that is an option?
