PyEDA fails to build.

[matj1]

If I try to install PyEDA with pip install pyeda, it fails with this error:

The compilation works with Python 3.10 (on a different system). So I think that the failure is caused by the Python version.

#186

[bryan-brancotte]

Hi,

I'm having the same issue when using docker image python:3.10-small, but it works on python:3.10-bookworm. I suggest playing with version/dependencies while waiting for #197

Edit: specify more precisely the docker image, the issue is a too recent gcc compiler
