Actually the problem is not so much the building of arch-indep packages,
since "debuild -A" works on amd64.

The problem is rather specific to i386, where even a full build (with
source, binary-arch and binary-indep) fails.

The relevant part of the build log seems to be the following:

genlib: Regenerate names and lib
if with_modelica_compiler() then
     !--error 241 
File "/«PKGBUILDDIR»/modules/scicos/macros/scicos_utils/with_modelica_compiler.bin" does not exist.
at line      28 of exec file called by :    
  exec('buildmacros.sce');
at line      51 of exec file called by :    
    exec('buildmacros.sce');
at line      46 of exec file called by :    
exec('modules/functions/scripts/buildmacros/buildmacros.sce',-1)

Note however that the behavior is different whether you use sbuild
(non-interactive) or debuild (interactive). With debuild, the build
stops at that point and you get a (scilab?) prompt. With sbuild, the
build continues after that first crash and there is a second (fatal)
crash a little after.

I attach a build log on i386 created with sbuild and exhibiting the two
crashes.

Also note that the buildds logs on some architectures seem to contain
errors similar to the first crash and that are silently ignored.

Cheers,
