I need more information. can you get a backtrace? do the perl tests pass?
prove -v t/binary.t might be helpful. that looks like it failed on the 
binary_replaceq, but I don't have any clues as to why that'd happen.

Complete build log can be found here: 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=memcached&arch=sparc&ver=1.4.24-1
&stamp=1432598378.

I don't have any setup to reproduce it and it seems to be difficult to found 
installation media for Debian unstable (the arch need porter manpower) and not 
sure that qemu emulation could help to reproduce.

I'll try a bit to work on that.

Well, i think we can leave this bug opened for the record, but i don't 
investigate more on this because Debian Sparc is "dead":
