That's an excellent finding, thanks! And at least I didn't know the
cause of it.
We got to build this package but without tests due to this failure,
and it's not getting updated with the new uploads from the maintainers
because of it.

Yes, please do send the bug report.
If possible please annotate it with usertags, so all of them can be
tracked from a single location:
User: debian-riscv@lists.debian.org
Usertags: riscv64
https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V#Bugs_.28BTS.29
There are many other problems pending to investigate, specially among
the "build-attempted" ones, almost 500 by now. Just check if they are
reported in the page of the BTS for the (source) package, or here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-riscv@lists.debian.org
Cheers.
