From those the linux packages and perl seems to be caused by this particular bug, the others are caused by LP: #1782094.

Linux packages are less interesting from multiarch perspective and they are updated frequently thus rebuilding them is not necessary.
I suggest rebuilding perl with the fixed pkgbinarymangler.
