Looking for gperf in the source, I see:

[locale/Makefile]
programs/%-kw.h: programs/%-kw.gperf
cd programs \
&& $(GPERF) $(GPERFFLAGS) -N $(@F:-kw.h=_hash) $( $(@F).new
mv -f $@.new $@

and there are these files:

-rw-rw 1 ben ben  1553 Aug  2 03:01 locale/programs/charmap-kw.gperf
-rw-rw 1 ben ben  7086 Aug  2 03:01 locale/programs/charmap-kw.h
-rw-rw 1 ben ben 10382 Aug  2 03:01 locale/programs/locfile-kw.gperf
-rw-rw 1 ben ben 25742 Aug  2 03:01 locale/programs/locfile-kw.h

All the timestamps are equal in the upstream tarball, but if the .gperf
files are touched before building it will result in this build failure.

Ben.

Strange, I am not able to reproduce the problem, the package built fine
here. Also it built fine on the build daemons for quite some time and
there hasn't been any recent change besides hurd one.

Are you doing something special to trigger this bug? Do you have the
build log?

Bug#847478: FTBFS: needs to Build-Depends on gperf

[Ximin Luo]

Package: glibc
Version: 2.24-7
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear Maintainer,

whilst trying to build glibc:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/build-tree/amd64-libc/gnu/lib-names-64.h 
/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/debian/tmp-libc/usr/include/gnu/lib-names-64.h
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/build-tree/amd64-libc/libBrokenLocale.map 
/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/debian/tmp-libc/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libBrokenLocale_pic.map
cd programs \
&& gperf -acCgopt -k1,2,5,9,$ -L ANSI-C -N charmap_hash charmap-kw.gperf > 
charmap-kw.h.new
/bin/bash: line 1: gperf: command not found
Makefile:66: recipe for target 'programs/charmap-kw.h' failed
make[3]: *** [programs/charmap-kw.h] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/locale'
Makefile:230: recipe for target 'locale/subdir_install' failed
make[2]: *** [locale/subdir_install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source'
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'install' failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 
'/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/build-tree/amd64-libc'
debian/rules.d/build.mk:162: recipe for target 
'/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/stamp-dir/install_libc' failed
make: *** [/tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1/build/source/stamp-dir/install_libc] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I: artifacts left in /tmp/debrepro.uGH5xEsmL1

Probably this just needs a Build-Depends: gperf, I am trying the build again 
now.
