You will most likely have to upgrade the libgit2 version to a newer 0.27
first though as there are still many architectures where the testsuite
fails.

FWIW, I have opened a pull request upstream which should address the alignment
issues in libgit2 that affects both sparc64 and some of the mips architectures
in Debian [1].

This patch should be included in any case, otherwise you will continue seeing
the alignment-related crashes (Bus error).
