Bug 1659512 comment 1 suggests that the diagnostics do not really help. In any case, it's not architecture-specific. This was fixed upstream in this commit, I think:

I've seen this once during an RPM build on ppc64le: ../scripts/evaluate-test.sh posix/tst-spawn $? false false > /builddir/build/BUILD/glibc-2.28/build-ppc64le-redhat-linux/posix/tst-spawn.test-result /builddir/build/BUILD/glibc-2.28/build-ppc64le-redhat-linux/posix/tst-spawn: file 2 not in right position =====FAIL: posix/tst-spawn.out===== error: tst-spawn.c:262: not true: WEXITSTATUS (status) == 0 error: 1 test failures =====FAIL: posix/tst-spawn.test-result===== FAIL: posix/tst-spawn original exit status 1 There is an upstream patch which improves the diagnostics slightly: commit c70271662aa53aee0c4794d480dca6d9ba3ccc3d Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella> Date: Wed Sep 19 11:12:05 2018 -0700 Use libsupport for tst-spawn.c No function changes is done. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. * posix/tst-spawn.c (do_prepare, handle_restart, do_test): Use libsupport. Maybe this will allow us to see what is going on. The test does not seem to have file system races. The ppc64le uses tmpfs, so maybe this is a contributing issue.
