There was a note from Denys relating to ubuntu not including gcc headers 
and he couldn't find them in other related packages, so that may explain 
the problems from that point. OE is moot and with a similar although 
better output I expect it's the same sort of problem.

I have now, sorry too complex for what I'm thinking at present, but may 
use it after i've started to sort out what I "really want it to do", 
rather than "I think I would like it to be able to do it this way".

Got 3 projects 'floating in the air' at present, (sound familiar 
anyone,) and this is the 'new' one and it's very airy-fairy at this 
point. It's come out of my musl/clang/llvm-no_gcc_etc project in a 
fourth dimension direction, not even talkable to myself at the moment, 
just a hash of ideas.
