 CC> I'm using Debian 13 (Trixie) on an amd64 server, and trying to compile the latest version of Synchronet using the
 CC> install-sbbs.mk script.  It builds correctly but it fails while linking:

Not sure if this will help but I have had no issue compiling with trixie.  Snippet of my dockerfile

FROM debian:trixie

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    git \
    wget \
    curl \
    libssl-dev \
    libncurses-dev \
    libncurses5-dev \
    zlib1g-dev \
    libaio-dev \
    libarchive-dev \
    zip \
    unzip \
    netcat-openbsd \
    telnet \
    syslog-ng \
    sudo \
    make \
    pkg-config \
    libnspr4-dev \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN useradd -m -s /bin/bash sbbs

WORKDIR /sbbs

RUN wget -q https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/install-sbbs.mk && \
