no, all buildd.debian.org builds are native builds.

Some non-release architectures are built inside qemu,
but for the program built this is like a native build
(e.g. the m68k build runs native m68k gcc inside qemu).

It is exactly all big endian architectures that fail this way,[1]
this looks like "rdatawad" always segfaults on big endian.

[1] riscv64 is little endian and fails for unrelated reasons
