I requested a give back by mailing debian-wb-team, but it hasn't happened yet.
If it is successful, it completes the llvm-symver transition, and if
not, it provides us with more data for determining whether the problem
lies with different hardware or with different kernel versions.
Either way, it shouldn't change the status of this bug.

Looking at recent (>= December 2016) build success and failures [1]
combined with machine information [2]:

Always succeeds on:
arm-linaro-01 APM X-Gene Mustang board
arm-arm-01 Juno Versatile Express board (ARMv8-A)
arm-linaro-03 APM X-Gene Mustang board
arm-arm-03 APM X-Gene Mustang board
asachi.debian.org APM X-Gene Mustang board

Always fails on:
arm-arm-04 AMD Seattle rev B1
arm-conova-01 ?

Looking at kernel versions from the build logs:

Always succeeds on:
Linux 3.16.0-4-arm64 armhf (aarch64)

Always fails on:
Linux 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-arm64 arm64 (aarch64)
Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.2-arm64 arm64 (aarch64)
Linux 4.9.0-2-arm64 arm64 (aarch64)
