The problem seems to happens because jpeg-xl is built with gcc-13 on
riscv64. It is also reproducible on s390x. It's not clear to me why, as
the packages providing libgtest.a or libIlmThread-3_1.so haven't been
rebuilt since the last build of jpeg-xl on riscv64.

I suspect jpeg-xl will be having FTBFS on these architecture were limited to use gcc-13:

Nevertheless I have tested that jpeg-xl builds fine on riscv64 with
gcc-14 (not clear why it has been changed to gcc-13 on riscv64), so the

easiest fix is to build it with it. Here is the patch I tested:
