Has anyone managed to reproduce this? I've built 6.0.0-7 from source
in a tight loop 100 times, both in a sid:i386 chroot via cowbuilder
and in a sid:i386 VM, without encountering a single failure.

The latest build attempt on i386 also failed:

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libvirt&arch=i386&ver=6.4.0-1&stamp=1593097042&raw=0

However, the failure in this case was not limited to i386 and the
error was completely different, caused this time by

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=963704

All I can think of at this point is a temporary glitch of the
buildd. In a couple of weeks, when we upload 6.5.0, we'll hopefully
see that build fine on all architectures, i386 included...

Does anyone have any better theories? Or a way to dig further?

Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
