Sorry yes (it was reported on a different machine) - I always try to
remove that misleading info (and wish reportbug had a setting to do
so as I am rarely able to report bugs on the machine they occur on).
This was on an arm64 unstable buildd.
So no you wouldn't be able to reproduce it on amd64 and/or wheezy.
anyway, this has been rendered moot by the new upload (5.0.5-2) which
failed to build on arm64 for different reasons.

The classic 'config.sub,guess out of date' symptom:
dh_auto_configure -B obj -- --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/bin

Now this is odd because the package runs dh_autoreconf.
However it clearly isn't working, and the top-level config.sub remains
too old for newer arches. I don't understand why this is because the
package appears to use automake as well as autoconf so these files
should get updated. (see https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf for explanation).
I'm afraid I have not got to the bottom of this, but the simple
expedient of running dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig as well as
autoreconf fixes the problem and it builds. A patch for this is attached.
This is perhaps not perfect, but is a small and simple fix which does no harm.
I will upload a package with this fix to delayed/7 soon in order to
get it built in the new arches. Shout if that's not OK.
