That's an unfortunate story, but- are you actually planning to
distribute? I'm not sure there's anyone who would sue you for
compiling a program for your own use. [1]

You're free to follow your own preferences of course, including "I
prefer to trust someone else to compile things well", and Gyan has
been doing good work for a long time.

Cheers,
