Based on the comment below from the logs it must not be currently
possible to do this, so I will use gcc@11 and wait for the
core-updates merge to use gcc@12.

I have tried copying the glibc-2.35 definition from core-updates into
my manifest but get an out of memory error, so it may be that
rewriting glibc is too much even if possible using an inferior.

<silicius> Mesa from core-updates builds succesfully while using an
inferior, but inferior packages can't be used with input-rewriting...
