Public bug reported:
The ELF package note metadata introduced in dpkg 1.22.6ubuntu11 (refined
in 1.22.6ubuntu14) can cause this failure:
```
gcc fatal error: environment variable ‘DEB_HOST_ARCH’ not defined
```
This happens when the `-specs=/usr/share/dpkg/elf-package-
metadata.specs` parameter is set but the needed environment variables
are not set. Cases:
1. Only the LDFLAGS is queried from dpkg-buildflags. Affected source
packages builds: python3.12, openjdk-21, cdbs (causing dvbstreamer and
rp-pppoe fail to build)
2. autopkgtests
