I already read before asking this bug and message...
Quoting from the bug
"sometimes hangs at child process exit on s390x"
So why not just issue rebuilds until it succeedes?
I know this isn't perfect, but at least will let it go in by Britney and leaving upstream developers enough time to fix it (properly)
(it has been tried 3 times, maybe on different machines it will succeede)
