To add to what Alan said: I was able to get Studio 12.3 to work on OI
151a9 (/dev) with a little bit of work.

12.4 requires symbol versions from some libraries that oi151a9 just didn't
have, though, so I gave up on it.  Thinking about it some more, there's
something else I could have tried, but at the time I didn't really need
12.4, since 12.3 was working relatively well.

I haven't tried Studio 12.4 since I switched my workstation from /dev to
/hipster, so no idea if it's better or worse.
