Check http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588986

Same happens on gentoo

this isnt specific to superh.  this peekfd file is a huge pile of shit.
Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-05 18:00:56 UTC 
sed -i -e 's:WANT_PEEKFD_MIPS:DISABLE&:' configure.ac || die

in src_prepare and wait for the Debian/upstream bug to get solved
peekfd is not mandatory to have, it's the less important application from psmisc
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-08-22 20:19:48 UTC 
my portable ptrace library is taking some time to get right, so ive added a build time hack.  any/all peekfd build failures will be ignored and that's what i prefer.

Comment 4 Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2019-01-05 10:17:03 UTC 
Likely fixed in https://gitlab.com/psmisc/psmisc/commit/d14bc4620a59e2d9a162611e6f1d922487f9c8ed .

It seems as if the hack now makes the build fail?
