I confirm that the build reproducibly failed 4 times on 4 different
build daemons. That said on my side I am not able to reproduce the
problem, neither on two different boards at home, nor on the porterbox
ricci.d.o (which runs the same hardware as the buildds).

If someone is able to reproduce the issue, even if not able to debug it,
that would be very helpful, so do not hesitate to point that in the bug
log (that's why I kept the Cc: to debian-riscv at l.d.o).
