I was also curious if somebody cares about it enough to fix those.I only found out very recently that it's not in good state, because I was installing debian 13 on a new device and couldn't find the package, so I figured it must have been removed. I care but the current ftbfs seems to be about some external library that changed API, from what I can see, and the code calling into that is generated at compile time, so it's not a simple matter of patching a file. That's where I got blocked really.
There is a chance that the fix can be extracted from the current upstream version. Ideally, of course, the new upstream version should just be packaged, but I don't see this happening without the original maintainer unless someone spends a really large amount of time learning the package and updating it. And there is that problem with ARM symbols, which happens in some low-level symbol manipulation script written for the Debian packaging. The cppgir problem could be fixed upstrea, and it should at least be easier to update that one.
