I'm aware.

And it's supposed to be long fixed in qemu, so I assume (some part of)
the fix is just still not deployed on some of the experimental buildds
for m68k and sh4. Or whatever. In any case, I don't recall a single
buildd failure with this failure mode on other architectures.

I don't really mind reopening, but this is not going to be fixed by
any change to src:perl. We were using the bug as a reminder about your
request to send advance warnings about Perl transitions because of the
issue. We stopped those as they didn't seem useful.

Feel free to reassign if you think there's still something on the
qemu side to fix. I lack the visibility (and tbh the inclination) to
investigate this further myself.
