I'm surprised it doesn't cause problems already for stable updates and
building security updates, even on Linux arches.

The most reliable way I can think of is to run two sets of buildds,
having oldstable+stable hosts until freeze, then stable+testing hosts
during.  Since physical machines have mostly become VMs the overhead of
something like this ought to be much lower than it was.

Wookey seems to be giving a talk on a similar topic at 19:00 your time.

Looks like you managed to binNMU this.  I think that demonstrates it
works now with mlock() on kfreebsd-10.  libgnome-keyring maintainers
might be persuaded to not FTBFS any more because of this test failure.

I can't think of any other examples.  If something like this happens
(especially on a major port like Linux amd64) I think the packager would
usually just try to work around it.
