Hi Michael,
the issue here is that the BPF compiler is made to consume the target architecture's glibc userspace headers as if it were compiling normal target userspace code. 

bpf-gcc is compiling for the BPF target, while the build explicitly adds:

/usr/include/powerpc64-linux-gnu
/usr/include/sparc64-linux-gnu
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnux32
Those headers eventually pull in gnu/stubs.h, whose ABI selection expects multilib glibc headers that aren't installed in the build environment. 

And should not be. Still you could provide them :).
1) I.e., you can add the (useless) target arch headers and make it compile: 

Build-depend on g++-multilib


The question then is: why is this only necessary on those architectures?


I tried that on a porterbox (perotto).
It did not help. The build failure is the same.
