Last build I did was on 21.10 (for 4.10-65-g7e4fcc7af+(2022-04-29)).
Now running 22.04 but haven't built the latest release yet -- may be a
bit before I do. Maybe 5.0 will come out first <<grin>>.

Seems reasonable to me.
I'd think the only versions with instructions that are useful are
those still supported by Canonical, namely, these LTS releases:
14.04 - EOL 4/24 (ESS 4/19)
16.04 - EOL 4/26 (ESS 4/21)
18.04 - EOL 4/28 (ESS 4/23)
20.04 - EOL 4/30 (ESS 4/25)
22.04 - EOL 4/32 (ESS 4/27)
Plus:
22.10, 23.04 & 23.10 (and other future non-LTS versions) when they are
released and nuances are determined to need special instructions.
(with those to be deprecated as they reach EOL)
Or maybe just only provide instructions for LTS and make a note that
non-LTS versions aren't supported for long enough by Canonical to
warrant their own documentation.
Note, the above EOL dates are based on Canonical's ESM (Extended
Security Maintenance) available for both Enterprise and Personal Use.
(free for the latter) See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
That is 5 years beyond 'standard support'. (indicated as ESS above)
If the dev team wants to stick with the standard support window, then
of course 14.04 & 16.04 can also be dropped.
Though, 16.04 was a breakpoint with respect to support for physical
32-bit systems. At least some derivatives are still based on 16.04 for
that reason. (a recent thread from a user described some difficulty
getting a 4.x version to work on an older Linux Lite release.)
If someone can report their various results & mileage, maybe those
older LTS releases can be sent to a sort of 'archive' page along with
a note on the last version of GnuCash that could successfully build on
them.
Of course, the recommendation can also be to advise the user to switch
to a current distribution still actively supporting 32-bit hardware.
(Debian/Devuan & Q4OS at least come to mind, I'm sure Distrowatch can
inform concerning others.)

Adrien

I think we should remove the instructions from
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Ubuntu for 21.10. Anyone
have any objections to that?
