Linux build is failing, kindly assist

I am trying to build from source for Linux with v23.09, the build keeps failing with this error:

@zyl-one did you try building v24.09?

[egecetin]

@zyl-one @seladb GCC 4.9.1 is a bit outdated. Maybe a compiler related error?

[zyl-one]

@seladb I have already developed my custom application which depends on v23.09. Forced to use v23.09 now (Can't update to latest as of now).

@zyl-one @seladb GCC 4.9.1 is a bit outdated. Maybe a compiler related error?

@zyl-one can you try to build it on a later version of GCC?
