Yes. Whenever glibc is updated (e.g. 2.37 -> 2.38), cross-toolchain-base
needs to be rebuilt or bad things happen. Hence, glibc now conflicts
with incompatible versions of c-t-b and since c-t-b has not yet been
uploaded, that's the failure you see. You cannot cross build any package
in unstable at the moment.

For details, see #1064003. And then defer any cross building work until
that bug is fixed.
