This can be circumvented in mksh by adding an appropriate clause in debian/rules:
│# Bug#523088

│USE_DIETLIBC=   0                                                                                           
│endif                                                                                                       
already exists because s390 on Debian has similar problems (bug in dietlibc causes
FTBFS for mksh).

Better would it, of course, be if dietlibc for powerpc got fixed in Ubuntu (possibly
taken from Debian sid?).
