This was a glibc vs qemu-emulation issue.
Glibc versions in >=Eoan failed with the Qemu versions <=Focal.
In coordination with IBM everyone agreed that emulation isn't a primary
use case and that backports would therefore not be SRUed as the risk to
break something for more common use cases outweights the gain.
Especially now that users can just upgrade to Focal if they need a qemu
able to emulate the insructions (and the Ubuntu Cloud Archive backports
that to Bionic).
Closing the remaining tasks.
** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu Focal)
Status: New => Invalid
** Changed in: ubuntu-power-systems
Status: In Progress => Fix Released
