Yes, this is a known issue which luckily has already been resolved.

This was most likely triggered by this regression [1] in glibc which has
already been fixed upstream and the current 2.24-5 Debian package includes
the fix as well.

Yes, I will do that right now. I wanted to do that earlier, but I forgot
when I went on vacation where I'm traveling a lot (still traveling).

Yes, because glibc is fixed now :). Will do an binNMU.

Let me know if you find others.
PS: I have acquired three additional hardware SH4 buildds while in Japan.
Once I'm back in Germany, these will be set up as well.
