That's correct - EFL requires all of its components to be upgraded jointly.
And Debian likes to build arch-indep packages separately from arch-dependent.
Building the binary packages separately from one another is not an
issue. I think the culprit is that the arch:all packages are uploaded
before the build of a corresponding architecture-dependent package has
succeeded. That is why I have started a new ticket (#1040598 [2]) to
ask the FTP masters and maintainers for help.

I don't think either plan is workable. Requiring gcc 10 is a temporary fix,
and is more drastic than I'm keen to accommodate.
I do understand that.
And reverting libelementary-data won't work either - afaik, I'd have to do
a new source upload which would fail due to this bug.
Yes indeed, it would most likely. My second option was more about asking
to copy the old version 1.25.1-1 of libelementary-data back to the ia64
repository because it is still there in the pool of the FTP servers
because of oldstable (bullseye). Yet I understand that this is nothing
that you can do, so again I asked the FTP masters and maintainers for
help.
I think this requires fixing the bugs in gcc > 10. You might ask about this on
debian-i...@lists.debian.org though the thread at [1] makes me doubt you'll get
a fix.
Sorry,
Ross
