Yeah, it's probably some difficulty with gdb.  As a hack, you could
remove the build-dep on gdb (on arm64) and the test will be disabled.
You can see the list of troublesome architecture in debian/control; some
of those may actually work now after a change to the test between 0.18
and 0.18.1. If you want to debug further, you can try stepping through
test/atomicity.gdb.

there is some more output in tmp.T380-atomicity after the test fails

Out of curiousity, isn't this a bug in the buildd? Why doesn't the same
problem occur on all the other BD-Uninstallable architectures?

I was waiting for the emacs24 backport before moving forward with this,
I think your patch looks sensible; there are still developers hand
building debian packages with emacs23.  If possible I'd prefer a git
patch against the release branch of

      git://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch
