Hi,

A second build (by just putting the package back into the build queue)
succeeded in this case.

So these test suite hangs are very likely non-deterministic. At least
not related to the build process in general. The two builds were on
different build daemon machines though. But in the meanwhile I doubt
that this makes a difference in this case as I had the issue once
locally and just the next built succeeded again.

Has been confirmed and a currently running second build is also bound
to fail: gcc seems subtly broken in Debian Unstable on s390x currently
for all packages which use sigjmp_buf directly or in a build
dependency.

Not our job. ;-)
