Thanks for your bug report.

The actual crucial error log line is this:

error: `svd' undefined near line 83 column 13
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 83, column 11

Autobuilds failed on several other architectures, but not all.  This is
probably related to Bug#477556.  We are working on the problem.

Cheers,
