emsetup in 0.8.2 does have a little helper for this situation:
--download VERSION
Sometimes, the Emdebian toolchains get behind the version of gcc in
Debian itself and problems in the later version of gcc could mean
that it does not build cleanly so emchain cannot fill the gap. In
this situation, there will be a delay in providing an updated
Emdebian toolchain for the new version but emsetup will not be able
to install the old one on new installations. This can be a
complicated situation but it may be possible to force the
installation of the toolchain using dpkg --force-depends.
Download tries to help you, a little bit. VERSION specifies the
version of gcc that you want to be able to use, e.g. for gcc-4.2,
specify 4.2. The relevant gcc packages for your selected
architecture are downloaded from the Emdebian repository.
Supporting packages are downloaded using apt-cross. Packages that
are already installed are omitted.

Once downloaded, you can use various --force-depends commands with dpkg
to override the temporary breakage.
