If you are interrested in the full logs for each failing platforms you can see 
them at: http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/erlang.html

The crash occurs for 3 different reasons out of those 3 platforms.

The problem on Mipsel and arm look like erlc bugs: 

[...]
erlc -W   +debug_info -I../include -I../../kernel/include -o../ebin 
beam_lib.erl
./beam_lib.erl:685: illegal guard expression
./beam_lib.erl:692: illegal guard expression
[...]

From the changelogs, I can see that such an error is supposed to be fixed, so 
I don't understand the why of this error.

I'm not experienced enough with Erlang to interpret the stack for the hppa 
error:

[...]
erlc -W   +debug_info -I../include -o../ebin prim_inet.erl
(no error logger present) error: Error in process <0.1.0> with exit value: 
{badarg,[{erl_prim_loader,check_file_result,3},{init,get_boot,1},
{init,get_boot,2},{init,do_boot,3}]}
[...]

Will Newton suspects that this might be caused by the autobuilding lacking hd 
space.

I believe hppa is the lowest priority for me right now.

The previous package version is 10.b.5.  I'm annoyed that I skipped 10.b.6.

I'm limited in my efforts to investigate this because I don't have access to a 
sparc-based computer on which I could compile this on.  So, unless I find 
that this problem was previously reported, I'll leave those errors alone  
wait for the next upstream.
