Yes, it did. There is a bug in Python upstream for which I provided a patch
but while the compilation error is fixed, the Python interpreter itself eve=
ntually
locks up for whatever I have not been able to figure out.

I think it would be best to build Python 3.14 with gcc-14 for the time bein=
g
until the underlying problem has been sorted out. But I have just so much c=
apacity
I can spend on all of this before burning out.
