[Possibly OT] Is there a list of command-line versions of any Unix/Linux GUI applications?
https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps and https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis? Though it doesn't mention a specific GUI apps (eg, Lynx is under either Web Browser or Web on those lists), and it's just lists, no actual comparison or review etc. I usually found AlternativeTo to be somewhat decent start to see what features and alternatives I can expect across platform.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
