Description

According to https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable

Note: llvm13 is needed until there is a release of gcc12.1. As soon as gcc12.1 is in the freedesktop sdk, gcc can be used instead of clang.

We have gcc 13.

We should investigate dropping llvm/clang

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reviewing the Flatpak SDK dependency configuration and the linked Rust SDK extension note, then determine whether the project can use the existing GCC 13 instead of LLVM/Clang. Done means the dependency choice is investigated and the required build configuration changes are identified.
