Bug#851253: bootstrap build failure: install: cannot stat 'build-deb/.libs/test-udev': No such file or directory

Source: systemd

Since systemd 232-9 some architectures no longer bootstrap. An example
is nios2:

https://jenkins.debian.net/job/rebootstrap_nios2_gcc6/56/consoleText:
| # ship test-udev, so that we have it for autopkgtests
| install -D build-deb/.libs/test-udev debian/libudev-dev/usr/lib/nios2-linux-gnu/udev/test-udev
| install: cannot stat 'build-deb/.libs/test-udev': No such file or directory
| debian/rules:247: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed
| make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/buildd/systemd_1/systemd-232'
| make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 1
| debian/rules:366: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed
| make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

The configuration is:
* DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64
* DEB_HOST_ARCH=nios2
* DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck noddebs parallel=1
* DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=nocheck noudeb stage1

In the full log, you can see that test-udev actually is being compiled.

Simple native builds for single profiles stage1 or nocheck do not
exhibit the failure mode.

Reverting systemd packaging commit
943053a2c2fd8b153545eb410101e0e3616d4de9 makes the issue go away.

Can we revert it in Debian or find some other solution?
