Andreas, I've not gotten it more isolated, the minimum I had was running debian/tests/gnome-desktop-testing in a flatpak-builder source tree (apt source/pull-lp-source flatpak-builder).

This has caused failure of an unrelated package flatpak-builder autopkgtests on s390x only, like so echo Building make: echo: Operation not permitted make: *** [Makefile:2: all] Error 127 Julian Klaude investigated this in-depth. His earlier research also indicated that this is a heisenbug, if one tries to print to stderr before printing to stdout, no issue occurs. We are configuring GNU make to be build with --disable-posix-spawn on s390x only. We passed these details to Debian https://bugs.debian.org /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964541 too. But I do wonder, if there is something different or incorrect about posix_spawn() implementation in either glibc, or linux kernel, on s390x. Or gnu-make's usage of posix_spawn(). As otherise, using posix_spawn() in gnu-make works on other architectures, and flatpak-builder autopkgtests pass too. It seems very weird that stdout does not appear to be functional, unless stderr was opened/written to, from gnu-make execution compiled with posix-spawn feature.
