That should now be resolved with a new -rc release for 5.4.y and 5.10.y.

That error should be resolved.

Warnings for non-x86 arches I have not been tracking to try to get down
to 0. That would be a good project for someone to work on...

Try the new release to see if that fixes the build errors for you.

And thanks for doing all of the testing here, this round was a rough one
