Ok.

Thanks! I was able to find the build[1] but having an issue:

$ ./x86_64-linux-gcc -v
./x86_64-linux-gcc: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by ./x86_64-linux-gcc)

./x86_64-linux-gcc: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./x86_64-linux-gcc)

With older GCC versions from your page I don't have this problem. I'm
using Debian 10 still so so is my libc too old?
