Do you need this version in CentOS 8 Stream, or in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8? Thanks for clarifying.

I would like the fixed build into RHEL 8.8.

FWIW I was checking for differences in gcc-toolset-11/12 between Rocky Linux 8.8 (my build system) and RHEL 8.8 (customer build system).  I noticed that one package was different and reported it to Rocky Linux bug tracker.  They suggested I ask Red Hat if they will port the fix to RHEL 8.8 and referenced that CentOS Git repo.
