It fails on sparc64 as well which is a good indicator that it’s an alignment 
issue although the crash on sparc64 looks differently.

Generally, code that uses pointer type casts is usually the cause for unaligned 
access and SIGBUS. Pointer type casts should always be avoided since they can 
always lead to undefined behavior.

On x86, unaligned access is usually less a problem but it can trigger crashes 
when using extensions like SSE which has stricter alignment requirements.

I suggest debugging the crash on a porterbox. Unaligned accesses can be 
normally easily tracked down with gdb.

I doubt it's transient failure (it failed again), more likely to be the
fact that arm-arm-01 is arm64 hardware.  You may want to try amdahl's
armhf chroot rather than abel.  The arm porters may be able to help too.
