Fwiw, postgresql-9.4 was FTBFSing on s390x and sparc. Both look like
compiler issues, not bugs in the package, and could be worked around
by manually setting -O1. RhodiumToad and andres helped a lot in
debugging this on #postgresql (and #debian-devel) last Friday
(2014-07-25).

I've built these manually now so the extension modules have working
build-dependencies.

s390x dies in the isolation regression tests, the "fix" is to either
not use -fPIC, or to add -O1. (I used -O1.)

sparc dies in the numeric regression test, the "fix" is
-DDEBUG_TO_CHAR or -O1. (I used -DDEBUG_TO_CHAR.)

We need to properly fix these with the next upload. Unless the
kernel/compiler doesn't get fixed/upgraded, we need to resurrect the
"sparc and alpha are miscompiling" stanza in debian/rules from 2007
that is still in there as a comment.
