Bug#1103250: yasm: FTBFS on amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, ppc64el, ppc64, powerpc, riscv64

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I tried to reproduce this in my sid chroot on a machine running Debian
Stable, but here it built just fine for amd64.  Was this a problem in
some other package which have since been fixed?

When I try the same build in a testing/trixy chroot on a different
machine, running testing, the build fail like this:

  Test elf_amd64_test: O.O. +2-2/4 50%
   ** O: elf-rip did not match object file!
   ** O: gotpcrel did not match object file!
  FAIL modules/objfmts/elf/tests/amd64/elf_amd64_test.sh (exit status: 2)

Perhaps the issue is kernel specific?  The latter test was done using
this script:

#!/bin/sh
set -x
set -e
pkg=$1
testdir="test-$pkg"
sudo debootstrap testing "$testdir"
sudo mount -o bind /proc "$testdir"/proc
echo deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main | sudo tee -a "$testdir"/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo chroot "$testdir" apt update
sudo chroot "$testdir" apt -y build-dep "$pkg"
sudo chroot "$testdir" apt-get source -b "$pkg"
sudo umount "$testdir"/proc

When I modify the script to rerun using unstable, I get this failure:

  FAIL: modules/objfmts/elf/tests/gas64/elf_gas64_test.sh
