I will look into it.
FWIW, the culprit here is libadwaita-1 [1] which is oddly enough a Gtk widget library for mobile phones but as a build dependency of other important Gtk packages, it keeps these packages from being up to date. I will look into sending a patch for libadwaita-1 to make it behave better on older architectures so this situation is avoided in the future. As you can see in [1], the package builds fine on ppc64, so this particular problem shouldn't exist there.
