Yes, this is the idea: everything in testing/bookworm (and unstable/sid)
is built against the libgcc-s1 from GCC 12, even if it’s built with 11.
Backports would mix that further, and in untested ways: most packages
would be built within bullseye (i.e. both GCC and libgcc from GCC 10),
but some can be built against libraries from later versions.
Now libgcc is rather unproblematic but others _might_ be, whereas this
is tested or rebuilt, if it does not work, for the next release.
