The linux source package in bullseye-backports is not exactly the same
as the package in testing. You can see the changes in git, for example
the diff between debian/5.18.16-1 and debian/5.18.16-1_bpo11+1:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/compare/debian%2F5.18.16-1...debian%2F5.18.16-1_bpo11+1
The compiler change is mentioned in the backports-specific changelog
entries:
- Revert "Compile with gcc-11 on all architectures"
along with other changes related to backporting.
Hope this helps,
Ryan
