Hi Andrew,
Can you please share what the underlying operating system is?
custom Slackware 15.0 i586, was a lot of previous Slackware versions before ...
I once compiled then-new modular X11 into /usr/X11R7 dir and this keeps biting me when Cmake submodules fails to find X11 so I keep adding symlinks to /usr ...
kernel is 5.6 (crosscompiled as x86-64) , because I was modifying Slax 5.x (!) boot scripts for less-patched kernels over time (so overlayfs replaced unionfs patch) for intended use as real live dvd or same on usb flash drive (sadly killed one by connecting front side usb connector wrong ...I have copy of it on bigger machine's hdd).
In other words not something you can use anywhere where secure OS is actually needed, but I spend a lot of time making this copy of Slackware fine tuned for my use-cases ... was following mesa3d.git for drivers until quite lately, but they tend to break old stuff now, so I just stick to version that mostly work on my small selection of hardware.
