4.3.6 and 4.2.5 Debian based Haxe images failing to rebuild

[yosifkit]

The 4 Debian based images (haxe:4.3.6-bookworm, haxe:4.3.6-bullseye, haxe:4.2.5-bookworm, and haxe:4.2.5-bullseye) are failing to build after we merged the most recent Debian update and attempted to rebuild like we normally do every 3-5 weeks. It is failing on all three supported architectures: amd64, arm32v7, arm64v8. I'm not sure what has changed. 😕

I think the snippets below are the most relevant part of the log, but the full log is also on our Jenkins server (https://doi-janky.infosiftr.net/job/wip/job/new/job/build-arm64v8/36806/console) or for a short time on GitHub actions for amd64 builds (like this one https://github.com/docker-library/meta/actions/runs/11115548654).

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like it's the latest release of extlib (1.8.0) broke the build. I will pin it to the previous version for now.
