I think it's very unlikely indeed that this is a Launchpad bug, and
we're not here to go on fishing expeditions for you testing random
things. qemu/kernel developers are generally better placed to be able
to bisect this sort of thing. Of course you can reopen this if there
turns out to be some evidence that this is in fact a Launchpad bug.

Bug description:
Hello, after spending a lot of time debugging notmuch failure under
armhf, we came to a conclusion:
it started to fail when the infra moved to a new kernel 3.2 to a 4.2,
and moved under qemu/kvm environment.
the latest successful build is here created on 2016-03-13
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notmuch/0.21-3ubuntu2/+build/9344826
and the first bad is this one: Started on 2016-08-31
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notmuch/0.22.1-2ubuntu1/+build/10600002
Kernel version: Linux kishi10 3.2.0-98-highbank #138-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Mon
Jan 11 13:24:41 UTC 2016 armv7l
Kernel version: Linux bos01-arm64-024 4.2.0-42-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun
28 21:24:20 UTC 2016 aarch64
so, in the first case armhf was ran on top of an armv7 kernel, in the other
case it became an arm64 one
this might not even be a regression in qemu/kvm, but rather a change in
buildd system that spot a new bug
doing a xenial build failed aswell, so I presume this is not a
toolchain regression (also because it works fine on real HW), but a
qemu/linux bug.
I did run the test under strace/valgrind, I can't do much more testing, but I
hope the logs can be useful for you
