I didn't find any documentation to indicate that this was intentional, but now that Ubuntu 24.04 is available we can fix the problem by updating to that version. We will need to do this at some point anyway, so we might as well do it now.

Hopefully we won't see any instability as a result. If we do, then we might need to figure out how to get gcc-13 back on Ubuntu 22.04. We should keep an eye out for any odd Linux failures.
