(my ref: (myid)/matlab2021a:2022-11-23 - so I can find it again)

You need at least GCC version 10 to compile Dynare unstable. You are probably using a version of GCC that is too old.

Also note that Dynare 5.3 (the latest stable version) only requires GCC version 8. I recommend that you install that version, unless you have a good reason to use the unstable version (the master branch of the git repository).
