This is part of a mass rebuild, first building on arm64 and then on armhf and armel. So I'm not suggesting anything. :-)
Aha.
Is this failing because the build is trying to build arch:all packages, that can only be built on amd64? If so, the bug severity could be lowered, clearly.
Well. Yes, this is exactly the case. qemu uses quite a few cross-compilers to build various firmware components. This is arch-all package qemu-system-data. Most of these cross-compilers are available on x86 _only_, including the mentioned gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu. I especially made these deps to be in Build-Depends-Indep only, - to be able to (re)build qemu on non-x86 by using `apt --arch-only`. I can't say this is a bug to begin with, - wrt lowering its severity. If it is a bug, it's a bug in gcc, not qemu (since it is gcc which does not provide these cross-compilers on all architectures). Or in the build environment. Thanks, /mjt
