client: Build in a Debian VM

This finally makes it work.  Hurray!

Other things I tried that didn't help:
  * Other versions of cross gcc (8, 9, 10, 11 12)
  * Other versions of host gcc (10)
  * Other versions of pico-sdk (1.3.1, 1.4.0)

arm-none-eabi-gcc as packaged in Debian works.
arm-none-eabi-gcc as packaged in Nix doesn't.
I haven't yet looked further into why.
