Public bug reported:

The simple.cc test of plf-colony fails on ppc64el with "stderr:
dis_syslink(ppc)(theInstr)" if glibc 2.33 is in use (hence on hirsute).

The test doesn't break entirely, but two lines are written to stderr that make 
the overall test to fail:
"

"

This turned out to be the root problem for the blocked transition of valgrind:
valgrind | 1:3.16.1-1ubuntu3   | hirsute-proposed
https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#valgrind
The autopackage test fails for ppc64el only:
"autopkgtest for plf-colony/6.12-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: Pass, 
ppc64el: Regression ♻ , s390x: Pass"

And the logs point to the above mentioned issue:

This is not a regression in the updated valgrind package itself
(3.16.1-1ubuntu3) since it also happens on groovy if one just upgrades
glibc to 2.33 (taken from hirsute).

Ideally this should be fixed in glibc 2.33, but due to the complexity a 
different approach will be taken and the simple.cc test in plf-colony adjusted 
like this:
# g++ -Wall -o "$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP"/⁊ debian/tests/simple.cc && valgrind 
--error-exitcode=1 -q "$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP"/⁊ 2>/dev/null
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99
(by making sure that the return code is still valid and true)
