Ok, well feel free to demote this bug to Important if you want the
latest upload to migrate to Testing.

Based on the log, the builders are working fine. It just failed on
pitti's machine for some reason we don't know.

We can bump the version requirement of GDC tests to be >= 8. This is
would be equivalent to what we had before. We're going to have a point
release soon so this could go in that.

What do you suggest for Ubuntu's builders which do use sbuild and I'm
guessing gcc-8 is still months away.

This is caused by the fact that GDC's standard library is not compiled
with fPIC even though it should support shared libraries. We skipped
this test on GCC versions earlier than 7 (because it was known broken,
but should have started working in 7, and won't be fully fixed until
GCC 8 IIRC).

I ran the full test suite on packaging on i386 and it passed without errors.

I think this is because pitti's sbuilder had an issue and it crashed
the test runner when trying to determine the number of CPUs in the
system. IIRC the same issue was in reproducible build environment ages
ago. Under pbuilder the compilation works without issues.

By the way, I notice that this version was uploaded as a binary upload
instead of a source-only upload.
