So I'm now downloading the source code through CVS instead of Mercurial 
because nobody else seems to be having the same problems that I'm having 
building with GCC 10.

I've been running CVS for more than two hours now, and it has terminated 
with a broken connection 10 (make that 11) times so far. I'm rerunning 
with "cvs update", so I am making progress. Even so, CVS has only just 
got to paths starting with the letter "d".

As someone who has used CVS for almost 30 years now, I'm happy to say 
that CVS just needs to be retired. Have a flag day, check that the 
content in the HEADs all match up and then make CVS read-only. I know 
many of us are old and grumpy, but that model T isn't our every day 
drive any more.

Cheers,
Lloyd

p.s. The code in Mercurial seems to match what I can browse on the FTP 
site, so I really am at a loss as to why I can't build, so I am checking 
everything.
