My build setup is described here:

It's nothing special, but I don't think this is due to my build setup
because you can also see the same kind of failures here:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/testing/i386/acorn.html

In the reproducible builds autobuilders, to my surprise, it seems to
always work on amd64 and it seems to always fail on i386.

Also, in my setup, the failures seems to always happen in the same
machines, which is very strange because all of them are configured
similarly.

My only theory to explain this is that "compile-modules" has a bug
regarding filesystem ordering.

If you can, try on different machines, instead of a lot of times in
the same machine.

Thanks.
