The rsyslog package fails to build from source on the hppa architecture since
quite some time, because the build hangs for 3 hours and then gets killed by
buildd process due to inactivity.
I've analyzed the problem, and the failure happens when gdb is called in the
build process, e.g.:
gdb rsyslogd core.9312 -batch -x rstb_310348_0000KITN.gdb.in.Rg1cJ3

"rstb_310348_0000KITN.gdb.in.Rg1cJ3" is a file with this content:
bt
info thread
thread apply all bt full
q

So, basically it's a problem in gdb, which just hangs when trying to run commands
in non-interactive mode. I'll continue to analyze in gdb...

It's correct that rsyslog has been failing to build on hppa for a long
time. But the addition of gdb is very recent [1] and most likely not the
cause, but only a symptom.
It's the test suite, that doesn't pass on hppa.
