https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libzstd - 1.5.6 is supported by default starting 24.10. The latest LTS version (i.e. 24.04) provides 1.5.5.
Do we really need at least 1.5.6?

Aah, you're right. Now that I look at it, even zstd 1.4.8 (supported by Ubuntu 22.04) will work as the zstd APIs used in LLVM and SYCL RT haven't changed since v1.4.8. In intel/llvm CI, we use v1.4.8 on Ubuntu 22.04 docker images and it seems to fine there.

I see pre-built library is attached to the release page. E.g. latest release: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.5.6
Would it be easier to download the archive, unpack and configure the environment variables instead?
