Bug ID: 54310
           Summary: Test on an older distribution
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

There were several recent bugs that affect / affected older distros:

I think it'd make sense to have an older distro as test VM to avoid these. The
current oldest vendor-supported distro is RHEL7 (and rebuilds). I think it'd
make sense to use that / a rebuild. I tested on an Oracle Linux 7.9 install,
and used the following commands to get a compilation going:

yum install -y -q
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
printf '[epel-archive]\nname=EPEL
Archive\nbaseurl=https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7.2019-05-29/$basearch/%...'
> /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-archive.repo

yum install -y -q gcc-c++ make glibc-devel.i686 mingw32-gcc mingw64-gcc
yum-builddep wine

the archive repo is necessary as mingw was removed from EPEL around that time.
