Finally got it working with the 4.14.83 kernel plus the Gentoo ptrace patch:

Linux lenz 4.14.83-00001-g6ef2496425e7 #1 SMP Sun Aug 2 19:31:30 CEST 2020 ia64

The machine is running Squeeze now. I will install unstable using debootstrap
on the second disk later today and then the buildd is finally up and running
again.
