Severity: minor

The gcc packaging is designed to accommodate backports to older
distribution branches, but bullseye is missing from the list of older
branches whose ld doesn't support --package-metadata, resulting in a
build failure while rebuilding trixie's gcc for a bullseye derivative
(the error I encountered was that libgomp/configure diagnosed the compiler
as unable to produce working executables). Please consider applying the
attached patch or something similar.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] d/rules.patch: Don't assume bullseye binutils supports
--package-metadata
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
As clarified by the commit message, the intention here was to enable
--package-metadata by default in Debian ≥ trixie and Ubuntu ≥ noble,
but Debian bullseye was mistakenly omitted from the list of older suites.
Fixes: dbc30403 "Pass --package-metadata on distros with supporting linkers"
