Thanks for reporting this issue.
A fix is pending in the VCS for the gprconfig-kb [2] and gprbuild [3]
source packages, but it will probably wait the GCC-11 transition to
reach the testing distribution.
You should ideally never manually change anything under /usr. This
breaks the expectations of the dpkg package manager, with potential
consequences on the whole system. I strongly recommend to remove your
link, and instead use a less intrusive work-around like
# cp -a /usr/share/gprconfig ~/gprconfig
# sed -i 's_libexec/gprbuild/gprlib_lib/gprbuild/gprlib_' ~/gprconfig/linker.xml
# diff -urN /usr/share/gprconfig ~/gprconfig | less
# alias gprbuild='gprbuild --db=~/gprconfig'
You probably want to be registered as the submitter for this issue and
receive notifications. For this, it is sufficient to send a mail at
cont...@bugs.debian.org with only this line: 'submitter NNNNNN !'
(I do not know the bug number yet, but you will see it in the
subject).
