If you are using the arm64 or armhf architecture, as you should be for
this hardware, then this does not affect you. This is specific to the
armel architecture.
How to tell: run "dpkg-query -W libgjs0g". If the answer says
libgjs0g:armel, then you should look into switching to arm64 (preferred
for Raspberry Pi v3/v4), or armhf (if v2 hardware compatibility is needed).
If you were using armel, I suspect that GNOME would be unusably
slow anyway, because armel uses software emulation of floating-point
instructions, and the GNOME UI probably has a lot of floating-point
calculations.
