Unlike all previous releases, the provided zips have not been optimized with advzip due to a bug in x64 Window zip integration (#58). This is the primary driver behind the 10% size jump since the last release. This is the first release not built on a Raspberry Pi 4. GCC 13.1 crossed a threshold where its bootstrap runs out of memory. The only reason for doing so was irony and bragging rights, but the results are indistinguishable.
