If amd64 is your native architecture, then gcc-x86-64-linux-gnu is not a
crosscompiler.

The latter, see https://bugs.debian.org/1113854.

In gcc-15 and later this is fixed, but gcc-14 still has the problem in
unstable:

,----
| $ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-15 --print-prog-name=as 
| /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-as
| $ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-14 --print-prog-name=as
| as
`----

As a workaround in trixie you can install the binutils package.
