I think there might be something up with your pbuilder chroot. At least
the initial stages of the build work fine for me with sbuild (gcc errors
out later though).

Also I don't think you've given enough of the build log for anyone to
help you that well. The only thing I can think of is that gcc isn't in
the PATH at that point (either not installed or the PATH is clobbered
somewhere). Not having a "Setting up gcc-6" line appearing after the
"Setting up gcc-6-base" line also seems a little fishy to me.
