My general view is that little now builds on Ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04. As an example I have been unable to build otterbrowser on Ubuntu, with either 20.04 or 18.04. It fails in libexpat with this :- make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/djp/gccsdk/build/libexpat1/libexpat-R_2_2_6/expat/xmlwf' Making all in doc make[2]: Entering directory '/home/djp/gccsdk/build/libexpat1/libexpat-R_2_2_6/expat/doc' ERROR: Configure with --with-docbook for "make dist".
