What are you talking about?!? runtime or build time does not make a
difference on the existence of the kernel headers in
/usr/GNU_HOST/include. Please explain how this could happen.

And what changed? libc6-dev-arc-cross still depends on
linux-libc-dev-arc-cross, at least if this was not broken due to related
changes in cross-toolchain-base-ports.

No, src:linux provides linux-libc-dev-arc-cross. If you think this is
incorrect, please talk to the CTTE, as this is part of a understanding
created within their reach last year at DebConf 25.
