Well, currently, powerpc is still a release architecture, so I set the severity
accordingly. Also, I'm quite confident that mips64el is failing because of the
same problem.

I found the issue :), see below.

It has to be added to the script template in build/posix/vers.sh.in. I'm
attaching a complete debdiff which fixes the issue for me in powerpc. I
have also opened two PRs upstream, these also include patches for m68k
and an additional patch.

Cheers,
Adrian
