  Where is this requirement coming from?  I ask because I compile from
git pull of the upstream/stable sources and I not only can compile both
5.18 and 5.19 kernels, but am happily booted on 5.19.2.  That's using:

	gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110

  Did someone get over-eagre with the Debian package Depends ?  I'd
suggest just changing that to the bullseye version.
