The nodes I'm building on are from an HPC cluster which is used without
problem for a lot of scientific computing. The 8 rebuilds I did two
hours ago were split on two nodes, and at least one build failed on each
node. Also, the whole archive was rebuilt, about 50 RC bugs were filed,
not giving any impossible to explain false positive.

So no, hardware is not an issue. Software might be an issue (maybe a
problem with the way my buildd is set up), but it would be a way that
makes this package FTBFS randomly, and allow all other packages without
bugs to build fine.

I'll investigate it further over the week-end, but you owe me a beer
if I can find a bug in your package :-)
