So above, that's "-151" for succesfull installation, i.e. we broke 151
eggs (either directly or through transitive dependencies).

I checked Salmonella after the fixes and it fixed 147 eggs:
http://salmonella-linux-x86-64.call-cc.org/master/gcc/linux/x86-64/2022/10/26/yesterday-diff/

That leaves 4 eggs that are broken still.  It turns out these are:
- expat (Felix and Shawn Rutledge)
- dbus (Shawn Rutledge)
- icu (Diego A. Mundo)
- espeak (Diego A. Mundo)

These eggs all rely on something a la the following in their .egg files:
(csc-options -C "`pkg-config --cflags expat`" -L "`pkg-config --libs expat`")

I would argue that's a bug and relying on undocumented, unintented
functionality.  Since it's only 4 eggs I think it's reasonable to expect
their authors to fix the eggs themselves.  Probably this requires using
a custom build script like we do in for example imlib2:
