vsftpd (both 3.0.2 and 3.0.3) both fail on sparc, probably because of misuse of the clone syscall. This syscall is directly used, not the libc wrapper. Since sparc has a different syscall convenction for this syscall than the other architectures (also blackfin and m68k have this different convention according to the clone(2) manpage) it fails only here. Reproducible: Always
