The Debian Linux kernel fails to build from source for all kernels > 5.5.17-1,
as can be seen here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=linux&arch=hppa
During build a 32-bit Linux kernel and a 64-bit Linux kernel is built.
The 32-build builds succeeds, the 64-bit build fails.
The 64bit build fails like this:
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/deller/build/linux/linux-5.6.7'
dh_strip --no-automatic-dbgsym -Xvmlinux
strip: debian/linux-image-5.6.0-1-parisc64/boot/vmlinuz-5.6.0-1-parisc64: file
format not recognized
dh_strip: error: strip --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note

debian/linux-image-5.6.0-1-parisc64/boot/vmlinuz-5.6.0-1-parisc64 returned exit
code 1
dh_strip: error: Aborting due to earlier error
Reverting this debian commit fixes the build again:

Use debhelper compatibility level 12
debhelper started complaining about level 9, so it's time to upgrade
again.
* Build-Depend on debhelper-compat and remove debian/compat
(also in the signed package template)
...
So, apparently something changed how debhelper starts the strip command.
Please note, that for a 64-bit vmlinux file,
hppa64-linux-gnu-strip
is needed instead of
hppa-linux-gnu-strip
although I'm not sure if this is the problem.
Any idea?
