I reproduced a test failure in the same executable, although not the
same test case, on both abel (armel) and eder (mipsel):

# random seed: R02Scb83b1213263861f34af8922b56661c3
# Start of param tests
ok 1 /param/value
ok 2 /param/strings
ok 3 /param/qdata
ok 4 /param/validate
ok 5 /param/convert

GLib-GObject:ERROR:/home/smcv/tmp/glib2.0-2.38.2-2/./gobject/tests/param.c:762:test_param_implement:
stderr of child process (/param/implement/subprocess/0-1-1-3 [9399])
failed to match: *Interface property does not exist*
#
GLib-GObject:ERROR:/home/smcv/tmp/glib2.0-2.38.2-2/./gobject/tests/param.c:762:test_param_implement:
stderr of child process (/param/implement/subprocess/0-1-1-3 [9399])
failed to match: *Interface property does not exist*
Aborted

When I run the test separately with

    debian/build/deb/gobject/tests/param

it takes a long time, and does not always fail.

I currently have built trees in /home/smcv/tmp/glib2.0-2.38.2-2 on both
abel and eder if that's any help to anyone.
