Package: qemu-user-static
Version: 1:5.2+dfsg-9~bpo10+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to debug an issue with an external kernel module on sparc64, so I 
wanted
to rebuild said module faster than my poor (real) UltraSPARC IIi would permit. 
For
bisecting reasons on another problem, I needed to try a kernel from the past, 
so I
debootstrapped (from the real SPARC) a chroot environment over NFSv4 pointed at
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20180331T141542Z.
So I bootstrapped that, verified that it worked by chrooting in from the SPARC 
and
installing the various development packages I needed, everything worked fine, 
then
I thought I'd try qemu-sparc64-static to build on my much faster server.

I was already running qemu-user-static from buster-backports, so I thought this 
would
likely work well.

Instead, during ./autogen.sh, I got back several "Assertion failure (core 
dumped)",
and the compile did not continue. (This does not happen on native hardware.)

I also tried and observed the same behavior on the qemu-user-static from 
experimental,
albeit in a bullseye VM because it didn't install particularly readily on 
buster.

Please LMK if I can do anything to be helpful in further investigating this.
