build_gcc_10.sh : trying to build 10.5.0 on Ubuntu 18: zlib.h not found

Hi! Firstly, thank you very much for your work in automating this daunting process!

I had no problems building 8.4.0 on Ubuntu 22, however, I have run into a minor problem when building 10.5.0 on Ubuntu 18 - fairly early in the build process it complains it cannot find zlib.h.

Fixed with 'sudo apt install zlib1g-dev'

The "--with-system-zlib" flag in the script suggests it should be present already, rather than being a dependency which the script builds itself, but for whatever reason, my relatively clean install of Ubuntu 18 does not have it present.

Perhaps a basic check could be added to ensure that zlib is installed? Otherwise, this issue will serve as a solution for anyone who does run into this specific problem. After this minor change, a new build run was successful.

build_gcc_10 isl_tarfile wget

I was following your medium post for building gcc from source. Running the script build_gcc_10.sh led to a loopback connection failure upon the line (L174) __wget ftp://gcc/gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure $isl_tarfile.

I was able to resolve this by swapping out ftp:// with https://.

Thanks for your hard work!
