Hi!
I know this is technically not a problem, as the game installs just fine natively; however, it is a quality issue. I could not find a place to report this properly, so posting here. Feel free to move this to some other place.
If you do not know about Lutris yet, you should definitely look into it. It is a framework that makes it extremely simple to install and manage games on Linux, and allows most people to simply one-click install and run them. Unfortunately, a QA issue with broken symlinks makes the Lutris installer abort. This is unfortunate since Lutris in general is making Linux gaming a really enjoyable experience, even better than Steam in some respects.
The TLDR version, just cd to the grim fandango remastered root catalog and run the following command:
find grim-fandango-remastered/ -xtype l
Repoint these symlinks to gcc-4.6-base and things should work swimmingly again.
