Hello,

I was able to reproduce the issue on a ppc64el machine using sbuild. 
Below is the relevant error log:

make[4]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/arb-6.0.6'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1968: arb] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/arb-6.0.6'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:2303: all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/arb-6.0.6'
dh_auto_build: error: make -j16 "INSTALL=install --strip-program=true" 
all returned exit code 2
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:51: override_dh_auto_build] Error 25
make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/arb-6.0.6'
make: *** [debian/rules:39: binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit 
status 2


The build failed during the build stage inside the sbuild chroot for 
ppc64el architecture.
