    I don't know. But I found a working solution, on the web
(https://github.com/xanmod/linux/issues/33), which was this:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/gcc-defaults-9
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I notice also that - after I'd done that - Wireguard has been updated
recently to build without a 'dev' package; perhaps that would fix the
problem too.
