glhack fails during package due to the games group not being present because the systemd package which provides sysusers.d is not installed.

glhack's Makefile does not use LDFLAGS leading to a lack of FULL RELRO.

Arch Linux tries to package from upstream without patches, therefore the patch from Debian needs to be submitted to the upstream project.

There has been no upstream activity in the last fifteen years, Thu Jun 24 11:17:41 2004 is the most recent revision to the CVS, which is in read only archive mode as sourceforuge decommissioned CVS support [1].
You could contact Debian and ask if they submitted the patch authored eight years after glhack's last commit to upstream.

Alternatively to applying the patch -Wnoerror=format-security can be used to override -Werror=format-security.
