Indeed. Looking at the recent FTBFS on ppc64el [1], it was only the "quick" failures (5-7min) on 2025-11-23 and 2025-11-24 that failed as described in this bug report. The other failures seem to be due to segmentation faults during the tests (output copied below). > The timing of the start of the ppc64el-only failure would match GCC 15 > and the ppc64el ABI change, but it is just a guess that this might be > related. I suspect the failure may be related to using the mold linker.
