Justification: fails to build from source

Hi!
I've just uploaded Sudip's NMU to fix a FTBFS, but the package fails its
testsuite on most machines I tried:

✗ 64-thread 2990WX, kernel 5.6.0-rc6-00085-ge6fd0e58416e
✗ 6-core Phenom 2, kernels:
	5.5.13-00041-g677eee050e0c
	4.19-0-8 (packaged, buster)
	4.18.0-rc1-cjk-debug-00028-g91e4a47950da
✓ 4-thread Braswell, kernel 4.19-0-8 (packaged, buster)
✗ 8-thread Skylake, kernel 5.5.13-00032-g845e62e65337
✓ barriere.d.n: 4-vthread 4.19-0-8 (packaged, buster)

All of these but barriere have exactly the same sbuild setup;
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=1 doesn't help so it's not a matter of
parallelism.

Before digging too closely into this, it's time to update this package
to the latest upstream version, which contains a dozen or so bug
fixes.

Adam,

Are you able to manually checkout the source code from Git at the
v2.3.1 tag, and see if the testsuite runs cleanly?

Outside of sbuild, the testsuite for 2.3.1 does pass.
I haven't tried rewriting the packaging for cmake to test inside sbuild.

Thanks, I'll prepare a package update to v2.3.1 and upload it to
mentors.debian.net. I'll need a sponsor to upload it from there.

This is now happening on the buildds as well and I can also reproduce it
locally on amd64.
