No upstream bug has been filed and I haven't received any input/help
from debian-powerpc porters.
As I'm not even sure if the issue is still valid on ppc, I'm going to
close this issue as I don't think it makes sense to keep it open
indefinitely.
If ppc porters want to chime in here and help debug this issue, we can
reopen the bug report.

Thanks for the backtrace
This looks like a crash in glibc when trying to load the rsyslog modules
from /usr/lib/rsyslog which in turn hints at a platform specific
(toolchain) issue.
Not sure, if there is anything in rsyslog itself that can be done about
it (probably not). That said, I'm not familiar with the
intricacies of the ppc platform, so this issue needs help from the ppc
porters.
I will not further pursue this issue (as I lack the means to reproduce
the issue) and I will also not forward this issue to upstream.
You are free to try that though. In this case please report this at
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues
Regards
Michael
