usualy that is the sign that you used some non-clean code here. bus
error on sparc is a nice error finder in your code. Best you ask for
the build-depends to be installed on sperger.debian.org, or if you are
not a debian developer (so you do not have access to sperger.d.o) ask
send you gpg key to aba at not.so.argh.org or he at debian.org and ask for an
account on titan.ayous.org.

Greetings.
