Werner Lemberg kindly reported puzzlement over the line
... TeX Live 2023 build died with C++ errors in the
<TT>freetype</TT> package
in my build reports at the site
https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive-utah
I misread the build log file, and that line has since been corrected:
2074c2074
< errors in the <TT>freetype</TT> package.
---
> errors in the <TT>teckit</TT> package.
I do not believe that teckit is at fault here. The problem is really
that there are many variants (and ISO Standards) for C++, and
portability of software written in that language has always been
problematic in my extensive experience. It is also why I do not myself
produce large software packages in C++. I have seen far too many
compilation failures of C++ code in other packages when I test them on
scores to hundreds of platforms.
