Hi Tom,

I see no problem in adding a "VERBOSE=1" (or --disable-silent-rules, or
whatever), as it does not have an effect of the produced built.
  In fact, I am not aware of any other way to obtain the test-suite.log
from the buildds.  To my knowledge, the buildds more or less discards
the build environment immediately after the build terminates.

My best alternative is for you to get -guest access to a porterbox and
try to reproduce it there[1].  It may take some time before you get such
an account.  It might make sense for you to try that in parallel with
the build logs - just in case the build logs are not enough for you to
fix the issue.
  DDs also have access to porterboxes, so you might also be able to
convince your sponsor to help you with obtaining additional information
from the porterbox.  Though, in this case, you will probably want to
"stack up" a few things to save a few "roundtrips".  Maybe something like:

"""
 * Please build the package and which fail the tests
 * Extract test-build.log
 * Run the test via gdb and do a "bt" at the point it seg. faults.
 * Extract stacktrace from gdb and attach it along with the
   test-build.log
 * ...
"""

Thanks,
~Niels
