I'm not so sure xen vs kvm is the real difference. A big difference is
also the available memory. Only the kvm host has a lot of memory. Others
are way more limited. That can make a lot of differences. In the case at
stake yesterday evening (aptitude), the result on xen was a crashing
proc server, which could very well be due to missing memory.

As I said on IRC, clisp still fails on the kvm buildd, with segfault
too. The difference is probably rather being in a chroot.

The one which is on debian-ports, simply.

So fakeroot issue, which is not so surprising.

That's the testsuite, which is indeed known to fail since semget is not
implemented yet. I usually build the pq packages with nocheck, but
recently pq started initializing a database in the installation process
itself, so it's not enough any more.

As well as a few other packages, yes.
