I've been comparing the following builds:

Good: kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 s390x
Bad: armhf hurd-i386 i386 mips powerpc

Noted differences after some manual normalization:

* Some binNMU version differences (completely to be expected)
* m4_1.4.17-4 from ../archives:
  Yes: s390x mips i386 armhf
  No: powerpc kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 hurd-i386 
  (no correlation
* Has libasan and libusan:
  Yes: powerpc i386 armhf
  No: kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 s390x mips hurd-i386
  Those libraries can not be the *only* source of trouble
* Architecture specific int size warnings (s390x vs powerpc, but in
  value.cc)

Reverting the strict build test checks for now (because the packages,
even with the build failures, work in the *regular* use case with
hardware rendering).

Tagging this as help because I'm a little out of ideas, and while this
is something I'll discuss with upstream, they might again have a hard
time accessing more exotic architectures.

My next steps (apart from the current upload fixing the build failures
by ignoring the test errors) will be reporting the issues to upstream
and tracing down the discrepancies on amd64 of build-time success vs.
runtime failure described in the last mail.
