Hi Nick,

Hehe, yes you need the ZSTD *-dev package on Debian.

Interesting:

"libzstd-dev: cmake file is unavailable"
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1020403

Looks like Clang-16+ is needed as well.

The WIP kernel patch looks promising.

Please, let me know after your rebuild of clang if it works OK not
only compile-tested but also debug-info is OK.
