How well tested is the package? From a quick look at the Debianization:

<quote>
Package: build-alternative
Architecture: all
Depends:
 ${misc:Depends},
 dietlibc-dev (>= 0.34~cvs20160606-3) [alpha amd64 arm64 armeb armel armhf hppa i386 mips mipsel mips64el powerpc powerpcspe ppc64 ppc64el s390x sparc64 x32],

That combination is explicitly forbidden by Policy, and will not
produce a useful result. (See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
ch-relationships.html#syntax-of-relationship-fields , specifically the
paragraph beginning "[f]or binary relationship fields".)
