Hi. Thanks for flagging this; I didn't notice this problem. Removing the entire thing from buster in response to a gcc bug seems a bit extreme, and I'd like to avoid that, if possible. Most direct request would be to special-case amd64 here. Is this something we're willing to consider, or too ugly? Otherwise, I can look at patching the sources to obviate the need to compile their giant "source" files. That'd probably be a good thing to do anyway. This is the preferred solution, right?
