First of all, let me thank you for all your work on MariaDB, and
let me thank the sparc64 porters for making it possible to build
anything on Debian/sparc64 at all :)

FWIW, I've been wondering whether something may be wrong with the sparc64
builder for a couple of weeks now: libzstd has been failing to build there
since February:
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=libzstd&arch=sparc64

Now, I can explain the -1, -2, and -4 failures, they were due to problems
in an upstream test that is run at build time, but the -3 and -5 ones
should not really have happened: those uploads of libzstd built pretty
much fine on all other Debian architectures (barring the ones where
the build dependencies were unavailable).

The cause for the failed builds seems to be a segfault that I cannot
reproduce in a sbuild+schroot+qemu run on my x86_64 laptop. Of course,
it may turn out that the problem is somehow related to the amount of
memory, CPUs, or other differences in the build environment.

Of course, it may be totally unrelated to the failed MariaDB builds, but
I just thought I'd mention it in case it turns out to be.

Once again, thanks everyone, and keep up the great work!

G'luck,
Peter
