What's the package and what's the error? A link to the report would be
useful.

The error is caused by the use of the bh package and the c++ Boost geometry

What does this mean? Is there any known issue? Fedora 36+ ships gcc12 and
Boost 1.76 and there's no issue AFAIK.

regression, of course, but I tend to think that the problem is in my code,
rather than in gcc.
