Package: gdb
Version: 11.2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Usertags: ppc64el powerpc ppc64

gdb 11 is not migrating to testing because the ppc64el build is missing:

The non-release architectures powerpc and ppc64 seem to have the same bug.

If there's no obvious nice solution, it might be possible to mitigate
this by only enabling the texinfo documentation when asked to build
Architecture: all packages, which in practice get built on an x86 buildd?
