That makes sense if you are using a Debian multi-arch system.

We changed the way it works for 23.4 specifically for this issue, but
forgot to change the comment.

Good, that's what should happen.

There isn't a bug here, other than an incorrect comment, and the fact
that you need to specify --with-crt-dir manually. This is all already
fixed for 24.1. You might like to try a pretest from
