Hm.  I installed 3.1 because we claim support for that.  I don't mind
updating to 3.2 (as long as we adjust the docs to match), but it seems
kinda moot unless you figure out a solution for the include-path
issue.  I see that platforms as recent as Debian 10 are failing,
so I don't think we can dismiss that as not needing fixing.
