I looked deeper in the issue and it seems that it may be a bug in the initial
compiler /usr/bin/ppc68k which is used to bootstrap the cycle.
This compiler is of version 3.0.4+dfsg-23.

So a possible way to overcome this is to perform a binary upload to m68k.
However I was not able to generate packages by cross compilation.
